LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Workers with the Transit Authority of River City have rejected a new contract deal.
TARC called the deal its "best and final offer," but union workers called the offer "insulting."
Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1447, the union representing more than 430 TARC workers, said Friday that 97% of voting members turned down the new deal.
In recent weeks, workers have rallied for higher wages, better maintained buses and a safer work environment.
The previous contract between the union and TARC expired last Thursday.Â
The union said TARC needs to return to the negotiating table with a better offer.
