According to the Vineyard Gazette, drivers with the Martha’s Vineyard Transit Authority could walk off the job as soon as next week if a contract agreement is not reached.

The union is pushing for higher wages and improved vacation benefits as negotiations continue.

The Vineyard Transit Authority’s buses serve as a vital transportation network for thousands of riders, including year-round residents, seasonal workers and tourists who rely on the service to get around the island.
