Union strikes just as OmniRide ridership rebounds

Delegate Elizabeth Guzman (D-Prince William County) and Jennifer Carroll Foy, a Democrat who made a bid for Virginia Governor in 2021 and is now running for State Senate to represent a portion of Prince William County, joined striking Keolis workers from Local 639 on the picket line on Tuesday, February 14, 2023.

Union drivers at OmniRide are now on day three of a strike that took the tranist agency by surpirse.

The strike comes at a time when numbers are rebounding, and officials hiked the annual budget for contracted bus services to Keolis, the firm contracted to operate OmniRide buses, by more than 17% in the upcoming budget. OmniRide officials said the strike caught them "by surprise."
