Greyhound bids wage freeze with massive union job cuts
Greyhound proposed a four year wage freeze and elimination of about 4500 union jobs amid a two month long strike. The offer would pay drivers 12.79 an hour replacing the prior 30 cent per mile rate as the company cuts about 2000 driver roles and shifts 2500 union workers to non union posts. Union leaders call the move greedy and an insult. The talks were halted indefinitely after the meeting on Saturday.
