Metrobus drivers at WMATA’s privatized Cinder Bed facility are entering their third week on strike, the first Metrobus strike in 41 years. Thousands of bus riders have been left stranded, because the private contractor WMATA hired to lower costs on the backs of workers, Transdev, refuses to negotiate a fair contract with union members. Here is what you can do to support striking Metrobus workers:
- Go to the MetroBus Strike Rally this Wednesday
Where: WMATA HQ @ 600 5th St NW, Washington, DC 20001-2610
When: This Wednesday, November 6, 2019 at 12 PM – 1 PM - Join the Daily Picket Line at Cinder Bed
Where: Metrobus Cinder Bed Road Division @ 7901 Cinder Bed Rd, Lorton, Virginia 22079
When: Monday – Sunday 4 AM – 5 PM - Donate to the Strike Fund
