School Buses Keep Rolling: 11th-hour pact averts strike by drivers, attendants
Bus Companies Agree to Keep Paying for Workers’ Health Care Costs
Roll on!
The union representing drivers and attendants for two of the city’s largest school bus companies reached a tentative contract agreement with management late Monday, averting a walkout that could have sent thousands of schoolchildren and their parents scrambling for alternative ways to get to school.
Negotiators for Teamsters Local 533 and Jofaz Transportation and Y&M Transit agreed on the tentative pact late Monday night, keeping some 900 workers on the job transporting an estimated 12,000 schoolkids 600 routes in the three boroughs.
