Relevant sections of collective agreements between organizations and management are provided below, as these agreements provide guidance to the ministry in determining the applicable rates of pay. According to M.G.L.c. 149, para. 26 « . The hourly wage paid to such mechanics and apprentices, crew members, drivers and workers in the construction of public works contracts shall not be less than the rate of remuneration to be fixed by the Commissioner or the rates of remuneration provided for below. The private construction industry between organized workers and employers may not be lower than the rates or rates to be paid for such work. Unfortunately, and in my view to the detriment of the efficient operation of the MBTA, the current MBTA management team has significantly improved the practice of hiring independent contractors throughout the transportation company. Clearly, the MBTA`s current management team believes that private contract employees are more valuable than full-time unionized employees, whose working conditions are governed by the MBTA Code of Conduct and our collective agreements. Private contract workers are held to different standards, if held accountable, resulting in confusing double standards that are not good for personnel management or the morale of the average worker in the agency. D`Angelo was never involved in any of our negotiations, and other unions told me that he was not involved in their negotiations either. During our negotiations, it was clear that the representatives sent to represent the MBTA did not have the power to conclude binding agreements and that all decisions had to be taken by D`Angelo, who was often absent.

A packed house of Boston union members Carmen overwhelmingly approved 4-year work and retirement arrangements on Sunday, Sept. 14. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) Board of Directors approved the two agreements on Wednesday, Sept. 17. On Sunday morning, 589 local members gathered at the Boston Teachers Union, where they listened to the details of the two agreements, they asked. Labor Relations also negotiates and administers the city`s collective agreements with the unions that represent Boston workers. There are approximately 21 bargaining units covering 7,500 urban workers. Local 589 is the largest union of MBTA employees with more than 6,000 members who overwhelmingly ratified the contract on Sunday, officials said. In addition, and mysteriously, D`Angelo was hired as a freelancer under private contract rather than as a regular employee. It is clear from the investigation report that D`Angelo, as a private contractor, was generally free from the normal constraints imposed on regular full-time employees and the type of supervision and accountability that applies to regular full-time employees.

Today, the MBTA Board of Directors unanimously approved a new contract between the MBTA and the agency`s largest union, Boston Carmen`s Union (Local 589). Laborers Zone 1 & 2 (5-31-2020)Laborers Local 596, 999 Building and Site (Western) (5-31-2020Laborers Local 473 – Building & Site, Pittsfield (5-31-2017) Our union has been investigating and opposing the MBTA`s increasing use of contract workers for years. More than a year ago, we submitted a simple and straightforward request for public records to get a clear picture of the scope and cost of MBTA`s practice of using private contractors and consultants rather than regular full-time employees. Our state is seriously concerned that the use of private contractors and consultants has led to inefficiencies, cost overruns and poor quality of public service. This expansion in the use of these private contractors and consultants exploded after the MBTA received a three-year exemption from the obligations of the Pacheco Act, a law designed to protect taxpayers from the government`s frivolous spending of taxpayers` money. Our union believes that private temporary workers, contractors and consultants should be subject to the same transparency requirements as MBTA public sector employees. „This contract recognizes the invaluable contributions of thousands of MBTA employees who provide safe and reliable service every day,“ said Steve Poftak, MBTA`s Chief Executive Officer. „I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all unionized employees of the AMF. Successful contract negotiations reflect our shared desire to maintain and develop a workforce that enables MBTA to provide the level of service required to meet passenger demands today and in the future.
