JTRAN workers go on strike
SUMMARY: J Train workers are on strike amid failed contract negotiations with MV Transportation, the company overseeing their operations. The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) demands a safer work environment and improved employee benefits. Workers are frustrated by company policies that lead to immediate termination for minor infractions, impacting long-term employees. While the strike disrupts service for riders, many support the workers’ fight for fair treatment. MV Transportation emphasizes safety priorities but acknowledges the tensions. The City of Jackson, acting as a mediator, has apologized to affected riders as workers remain committed to striking until an agreement is reached.
