Union leader Jesse Medeiros says management has ignored frontline workers’ demands for safety, fair wages, and job security—issues that include resisting outsourcing and retaining staff. Metro offered a 10% wage hike over three years, but the union rejected it, calling for mediation talks they’ve declined. Essential services remain unaffected under existing agreements, but the strike signals escalating frustration from workers who say they’ve had enough.
