Sun Tran Workers Vote to Strike

Sun Tran workers, the backbone of Tucson’s public transit, just voted 99% in favor of striking — a powerful signal to management as their contract expires June 30. While no walkout is imminent, the union, Teamsters Local 104, is now armed with leverage to demand better terms, especially around driver safety — a key issue tied to the city’s $2 million transit safety plan. The union’s goal? Avoid disruption while pushing for real improvements. Management, backed by RATP Dev USA, says they’re ready to negotiate and hopes to reach a deal before the deadline — but with Arizona’s anti-strike laws in place, the union’s vote is a legal workaround that keeps funding flowing. This isn’t the first time Sun Tran workers have stood firm — they struck for 42 days in 2015 and won. Now, the ball’s in management’s court.
