Denver transit strike continues as sides meet
The Denver transit strike enters its third day as union leaders and RTD representatives meet with a federal mediator in informal talks. About 1,750 bus drivers light-rail operators and mechanics walked off Monday over a wage and benefits dispute, creating limited service and impacting 275,000 daily rides. Governor Owens refused to order binding arbitration, criticizing union leaders after 55 percent rejected the contract. The dispute follows RTD spending 500,000 on a Cleveland security firm to protect facilities and staff, a move debated by workers who want more upfront pay. Traffic remains smooth on major routes despite reduced transit options.
