It’s on: NYC school bus drivers to strike Wednesday
More than 8,000 yellow bus drivers from Local 1181 of the Amalgamated Transit Union will walk off the job on Wednesday, union officials said Monday afternoon.
The strike will affect more than 152,000 New York City school students, 54,000 of whom have disabilities and require special transportation services.
The union said it’s striking because the city’s new contract does not include job guarantees for the most experienced drivers of disabled/special-needs children.
