Hourly workers at Spin ratified their inaugural collective bargaining agreement Tuesday, the first of its kind within the e-scooter industry.
The 40 members of Teamsters Local 665 voted “overwhelmingly” in favor of a three-year contract that grants them an annual wage increase of over 3 percent per year, six paid holidays, increased vacation and sick leave, a $1,200 employee bonus and benefits accrual for part-time workers.
It also provides them with the protection and advocacy of the union.
“All this means a lot during the pandemic. We know our union will have our back if our boss or the city government tries to make changes. I can say, for sure, we’re proud to be Teamsters,” Shamar Bell, a Spin worker and shop steward, said in a statement issued by the union.
