[Transit] Meeting with ATU - Scheduling poll

[Katie Wilson]

Hi All,

I just spoke with Ken Price the ATU president and they are keen to meet with us to discuss the service cuts, driver shortage etc. He said we can do it as a hybird in person / zoom meeting from their office in Tukwila.

Ken said we should suggest a few windows of time next week. Here’s a scheduling poll. <https://www.when2meet.com/?17078408-BQjTL> I’m pretty sure they will prefer a daytime meeting but I included times up through 7pm just in case. If you want to join, please fill this out ASAP so I can get back to him with times.

He also mentioned they are planning a rally probably for next Thursday about wages and working conditions for Access drivers. I said we could promote it, I’ll share details when they’ve got that figured out.

p.s. Laura, I’m including you here to keep you in the loop since you’re one of the instigators of this conversation, but no pressure at all to join the meeting, I know you’re taking time off!!
