A transit workers union might go on strike during Super Bowl week in Minneapolis on Feb. 4, 2018, according to local reports.

The union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005, represents 2,500 bus drivers, light rail operators, and other public transportation workers in the Twin Cities area. They rejected the Metropolitan Council’s latest contract offer, the Associated Press reported on Nov. 14.
