Nobody ever wins in a strike situation.
I know I speak for everyone when I say that we deeply regret the inconvenience this strike caused our passengers, and we thank you for your patience. The bargaining team began negotiating a new three year contract in November. When agreement was not reached by the expiration date, midnight January 27th, operators elected to strike. This was the first time in the County Connection's 17 year history, that a work stoppage took place. More specific information on when bus service will resume will be available following the Board meeting on Tuesday morning, February 10, 1998.
