The agreement follows negotiations on the main points of the collective bargaining agreement. Among the agreed improvements are an increase in rest days and a reduction in working hours. Starting in 2027, bus workers will have 10 additional annual rest days and a working week approaching 35 hours.
During the agreement's term, an additional 3 rest days can be added to reach the 35-hour week, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include reduced absenteeism and operational improvements that allow for hiring more staff.
Furthermore, a new system has been agreed upon to increase weekend rest days, fulfilling a key union demand. The new collective bargaining agreement will be valid for 4 years.
