Members and leaders of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 met with Keolis on Thursday, Jan. 12 in hopes of reaching a fair contract, the union said in a release.

“The offer from Keolis did not come close to addressing the key outstanding issues in bargaining, prompting striking Loudoun County Transit workers to leave the room in disgust,” it reads.

Keolis apparently refused to continue talks and said their proposal was their “last, best and final” offer.
