Negotiations between the Chittenden Country Transportation Authority and striking bus drivers appear to be at an impasse.
CCTA General Manager Bill Watterson said in a written statement that discussions ended without an agreement after seven hours of mediated talks on Saturday.
CCTA says it delivered a compromise contract proposal to the union in hopes of ending the strike, now in its seventh day.
A union official tells the Burlington Free Press that CCTA did not make changes to an article on discipline – a key issue for union members.
The union, representing about 70 drivers, voted to strike last week over working conditions, hours and the hiring of part-time workers.
There's no word yet on when talks might resume.
