Union Leader Denies Strike Plans, Calls for Leadership Changes at CAT
The head of the union at Chatham Area Transit (CAT) in Savannah, Georgia, has firmly denied any plans for a strike, despite a recent warning from the transit agency. Union leader Swinton pushed back against accusations of illegal action, emphasizing that public employees can voice concerns but not disrupt operations.
Swinton expressed frustrations over low wages, poor maintenance, and misused funds, leading to a decline in service quality. Workers are particularly upset about the appointment of Stephanie Cutter as the new CEO, who they view as unsupportive of labor needs.
However, there is a glimmer of hope with the appointment of new board members by Chatham County, including Commissioner A Dot Whiteley, Marsha Buford, and John Taylor. These members seem more aligned with union and worker interests, potentially paving the way for real progress at CAT.
