SOUTH UMPQUA DRIVERS
Be aware that contract negotiations has reached a pinnacle between First Student and the S.U. bus drivers. The drivers have been working without a contract since last year. A settlement does not appear to be in the near future. A press release was put out last Friday concerning their issues and announcing that an Unfair Labor Practice has been filed against the employer for bad faith bargaining. This ULP joins a long list of bad practices that the employer has been spreading throughout the state.
With the continued sluggish economy it is expected that contract negotiations this year will be difficult once again for all of us. Now is the time that we all must unite in support of our local chapters and others in the Zone. There is an old campaign phrase that holds true today. United we bargain, divided we beg.
