Trailblazer Transit Board approves wage increases, health insurance
The Trailblazer Transit Joint Powers Board approved a 2 percent step increase and a 2 percent cost of living adjustment for its employees at its Thursday, Dec. 15, meeting.
The board tabled a proposal to add holiday pay until it surveyed other transit systems to find out how they handle the issue.
Julie Latzig, Trailblazer’s human resources director, had proposed a 3 percent step increase and a 3 percent cost of living increase for the employees.
“I think that would send a message to our employees that we appreciate them,” said Latzig. She also said that it would help provide a wage separation between the more senior employees and the new ones.
