(San Francisco International Airport) -Over 100 Teamsters Local 665 drivers employed at SFO Shuttle on the San Francisco International Airport have ratified a new contract that brings wage increases and benefit improvements through a new four-year deal.
The shuttles are an integral part of SFO daily operations by delivering a safe and reliable option for over 4,000 airport employees to commute to work from around the Bay Area.
“Every aspect of this new contract is an improvement. Wages, retirement and health benefits all contain increases and protections”, Principal Officer Tony Delorio said.
The four-year collective bargaining agreement, which runs through December 31, 2029, includes a total 17% wage increase, with 7% in the first year. The Western Conference of Teamsters Pension contribution will increase by 22% through the life of the agreement.
The vacation schedule includes an extra week, and an additional holiday and sick day were added to the new contract.
The union-administered health plan continues maintenance-of-benefits provisions for medical, dental and vision.
SFO Shuttle shop steward Severino Angeles expressed satisfaction after the ratification vote.
“This work at the airport is difficult, maintaining schedules during traffic congestion, and changing weather. This new contract provides security for our families and respect for the job we do”, Angeles said.
