The first contract won by Teamsters Local 533 motorcoach operators at Diversified Transportation makes it clear how much Teamsters contracts can positively change lives.

The new Teamsters contract delivers increased wages, a guaranteed seven-hour workday, sick pay, health care, and retirement benefits for the 114 workers who unionized with Teamsters Local 533 last November.

The unit is made up of motorcoach operators who provide transportation services to workers at Lithium Americas’ Thacker Pass, a development and construction project, and to workers at Nevada Gold Mines.

We are thankful our member is doing well, and hope this brings closure. We are grateful for the RTC’s steadfast improvements by adding driver barriers. A proactive approach to safety of operators and passengers will help reduce violent behavior and incidents.

Ryan Mastelotto was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison with parole eligibility in eight years.

Mastelotto, unprovoked, attacked a 78-year-old RTC driver in February 2025. Video from an RTC bus showed Mastelotto when he repeatedly hit, kicked and stomped on the driver.

“Protections have gotten better, but we can always improve our securing a safer ride for our members and the RTC’s passengers,” said Teamster Local 533's Gary Watson, which represents transit workers.
