"NYC School Bus Drivers' Strike Threat Looms Over First Day of School"

School bus drivers across the United States are going on strike due to low pay and staff shortages. Every state has reported a major shortage of drivers, with factors such as low pay, Covid-19 challenges, and inconvenient hours contributing to the problem. In New York City, negotiations are ongoing to avert a strike, while strikes have already occurred in Coventry and Meriden, Connecticut, and Lakota, Ohio. The drivers are demanding fair wages, benefits, and improved working conditions.
