SALT LAKE CITY — Bus drivers were outside protesting Wednesday morning during a Utah Transit Authority meeting.At the end of April, UTA operators received a memo that UTA was considering creating a"supplemental service" for the ski bus, which would mean using third-party contractors and outsourcing the routes to non-UTA drivers, said Rod Dunn, the president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local #382.
“ said they didn't want to overwork those people they got, but they're not even working the ones that they’ve got,” he said. “That's why we're saying we can do the work they're trying to outsource.”“UTA will provide ski bus service in 2024-25. "All of this is in the exploratory stage. The requisition for proposals is still being written. Nothing has been sent to vendors. There has not been any contact or conversation with potential contractors. UTA has not received any bids. UTA does not know at this point if it will receive bids. Nor does UTA know the exact scope of the supplemental services which might be offered and discussed.
