Akron’s bus system could soon come to a halt as Metro RTA drivers and staff are seriously considering a strike after 17 months without a contract or a pay raise. Union members say they’re burned out, overworked, and not getting basic breaks, while management continues to negotiate. If a strike happens, it would disrupt daily commutes for thousands who rely on public transit across Summit County. With both sides at a standstill, what would a Metro RTA shutdown mean for your routine, and how should the city support its essential workers? #Transportation #Akron #MetroRTA
