CATS bus drivers to return to work after strike, full services resume Sunday

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Capital Area Transit System has announced that its bus drivers will return to work on Sunday, March 9, and full bus services will resume across Baton Rouge.

After negotiation talks, CATS and the local transit union will go to interest arbitration. This step aims to solve contract issues and help normal operations return, according to a news release.

Officials said they are ready to bring back reliable public transportation for all riders, as the strike ends tomorrow. CATS workers went on strike, demanding a fair contract and improved working conditions.

“We’re pleased to have our drivers back on the job, and services will return to normal tomorrow,” said Theo Richards, CEO of CATS. “We appreciate the patience of our passengers and are confident that arbitration will resolve the issues fairly.”

CATS and the union will use a neutral third-party arbitrator to resolve contract issues, a news release said. This choice seeks a fair and clear process. It does not aim for a final agreement right now.
