"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.

School Bus Driver Strike Continues in Marlborough and Westborough.

School bus drivers in Marlborough, Massachusetts, represented by Teamsters Local 170, went on strike after contract negotiations with transportation vendor NRT hit a stalemate. Negotiations have been ongoing since Sunday morning, and the sticking point is the economic package. A deal was reached in nearby Framingham, but negotiations continue in Westborough. NRT is working with school personnel to prepare contingency plans in case of a strike.
