CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - 19 Action News first told you about a possible strike vote authorized by RTA workers.

And now, some of those same union employees are outraged after learning RTA recently hosted an international conference here in Cleveland paid in part with your money!

The International Bus Rodeo was taking place just as RTA was cutting bus routes and laying off workers and closing a bus garage.

More than 1-thousand people attended and when it was all said and done the conference generated more than $2-million.

But was it really worth it?
