When their employers refused to provide them with a fair share of provincial funding increases, school bus drivers in two Quebec communities hit the streets. Their strikes quickly paid off. After a one-week dispute, school bus drivers in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (Local 9414) won a five-year contract with gains including 18% wage hikes and a bonus based on government funding levels. Bus drivers in Sept-Îles (Local 7065) maintained their picket line for nearly a month until they achieved a five-year deal with total wage hikes of 21.5%.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through April 26 at 9:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

As a former School Bus Driver in Ann Arbor who left about 6 months before they unionized in 2018... good for these folks and given the hands tied behind your back nature of the job they deserve it and then some.

Re: Big Win for School Bus Drivers
The biggest leap in our most recent CBA in my opinion (Ann Arbor Schools, Durham Transportation, Teamsters Local 243) was a jump from a 20 hour weekly guarantee which most drivers exceeded anyway, to a 30 hour weekly guarantee that I think a lot of drivers don't exceed.
For clarification if my combined morning and afternoon runs only add up to 25 or 26 hours in a week I will get paid for 30 . I don't have sit around waiting to clock out each day at the 6 hour mark. I go home after my route is finished and no matter what they will pay me for at least 30 hours.

It’s about time… being guaranteed 4 hours a day was always a problem.craig11152 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 9:08 amThe biggest leap in our most recent CBA in my opinion (Ann Arbor Schools, Durham Transportation, Teamsters Local 243) was a jump from a 20 hour weekly guarantee which most drivers exceeded anyway, to a 30 hour weekly guarantee that I think a lot of drivers don't exceed.
