Transit workers in Prince William County joined Loudoun County Transit workers on a strike against the same contractor.
A bus strike affecting Northern Virginia transit services spread to a neighboring county this week as unionized workers for OmniRide began a work stoppage, hobbling bus service in the state’s second most populous county.About 150 OmiRide bus drivers went on strike at 3 a.m. Tuesday, saying they are frustrated with wages and benefits they receive from a Prince William County contractor that operates bus and paratransit services in Manassas, Woodbridge and the rest of the county.
“We look forward to continuing productive negotiations with our labor partners on a contract that supports the professional and personal development of our valued team members,” Thompson said in a statement.County transportation officials last week increased funding for OmniRide, which the transit provider said led to another offer on wages.
Loudoun County Transit workers have been on strike since Jan. 11, and the union representing them held a “No Heart” Valentine’s Day rally Tuesday at the Loudoun County Government Center, calling on county supervisors to intervene and fine Keolis for missed service.Advertisement
