CapMetro Transit Workers Vote to Strike | Texas News

CapMetro transit workers in Austin are poised to strike after a near-unanimous vote—99.5%—to authorize action against Keolis, the company managing their operations. Frustrated by stalled negotiations, withheld wage increases, and what they call disrespectful and bullying tactics, workers say they can’t afford to live in the city they serve. Union leaders warn this isn’t about riders, but about fairness—and history shows Keolis has faced similar strikes before, including a 60-day walkout in Virginia. With the ball now in Keolis’s court, Austin braces for a potential transit shutdown if no serious offer emerges.
