IAM members working at Greyhound have ratified a new three-year collective bargaining agreement that includes wage increases, enhanced benefits, and additional career advancement options.
The contract applies to Greyhound employees across the United States. It provides general wage increases of 3.75% in the first year, 3.5% in the second year, and 3.25% in the third year. Health and welfare contributions will rise over the term of the agreement but will keep the current cost-sharing arrangement for participants in the IAM Healthcare Plan.
Additional provisions include a revised vacation schedule with reduced service requirements, higher premiums for Commercial Driver’s License holders, an increased tool allowance, a $50 reimbursement for prescription safety glasses, open enrollment periods that match contract renewal dates, and new pay structures recognizing Junior Master and Master Technicians who hold ASE certifications with premium pay above journeyman rates.
“This was a challenging negotiation due to Greyhound’s transition to its new parent company Flix SE, but our team secured the best contract to date for our members,” said IAM Automotive Director Craig Hughes. “I want to thank IAM leadership for expanding our department and bringing on Special Representative Heather Hildebrand. Heather did an outstanding job leading these negotiations for the first time.”
Hildebrand also commented on her experience during negotiations: “Our members stood strong, and we delivered real gains in pay, benefits, and career opportunities,” said Hildebrand. “It was an honor to lead this negotiation alongside such a committed bargaining committee. This agreement reflects the strength of IAM members at Greyhound and the value they bring to the company every day.”
