Summary of CTA proposals

Presented 6/25/2021
CTA's proposals included no wage increases and no
pandemic related compensation. In addition, CTA wants
to destroy most of the contractual protections giving you
any possibility of earning a decent living: Here are some of
CTA proposals:
• Vast expansion of part-time positions: CTA proposes
that "The Authority shall have the unlimited right to
hire and assign part-time employees in all
classifications".
• Removal of guaranteed pay and minimum hours: CTA
proposes removing virtually all pay guarantees;
including the guarantee of 40 hours pay for full-time
employees.
• Overtime: CTA proposes changing the way that
overtime is calculated to greatly reduce overtime pay.
• Swing runs: CTA proposes eliminating spread time
pay entirely.
This is just a brief summary; we encourage all members to
carefully read CTA's full proposals to get the full impact of what
CTA is trying to do.

51. Microtransit MICROTRANSIT

The CTA must efficiently allocate its resources and service to respond and adapt to
declining ridership, evolving demographic trends, and the need to address inequity in public
transit.

40
 6-25-21

One option to address these challenges is microtransit. Microtransit can be used to

provide a first- and last-mile link: for individuals living in areas with limited access to public
transit, to increase mobility for the region's underserved population, to decrease congestion, or
reduce vehicles parked at transit hubs, among other benefits.

As CTA designs, plans, implements and evaluates any pilot or final microtransit project,
it is imperative that CTA have flexibility in all aspects of its service delivery operations. The
parties acknowledge CTA's need for such flexibility and further recognize the potential impact a
microtransit project may have on the members of the ATU Locals 241 and 308.

The parties have determined that it is desirable to eliminate the potential for disputes and
grievances by using their best efforts to confer on issues of mutual concern regarding any
microtransit project. The parties agree, therefore, to meet and confer as necessary as CTA
explores and implements microtransit options and to work cooperatively in order for CTA to
have the flexibility required to operate a microtransit project. The CTA shall have the right to
implement microtransit, but the CTA will negotiate the effects of any microtransit project on the
bargaining unit employees. Such effects may include without limitation schedule and route
modifications, deployment of smaller vehicles, and potential creation of new positions to
effectuate the project.

The CTA shall inform the affected local at least ninety (90) days prior to the planned
implementation of any microtransit project. The affected local shall have thirty (30) days
thereafter to send notice to the CTA of its desire to bargain over the effects of the planned
microtransit project. lfthe parties are not able to reach an agreement on the effects within thirty
(30) days of the demand to bargain, either party may refer the matter to arbitration as provided in
Section 17. During this bargaining or arbitration, the CTA shall not be precluded from
implementing the microtransit project.

52. THE AUTHORITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, CHANGE, ADD TO,
AND/OR DELETE FROM THESE PROPOSALS.
