I don’t know why unionized school bus drivers are allowed to go on strike – all that does is hurt working families and kids. But the good news is that so far the SAUSD has been able to avoid a bus driver strike with negotiations ongoing. Here is there latest update on the matter:
SAUSD NEWSBRIEF-March 5, 2012

That’s a pretty asinine statement. If you understood unions, you wouldvunderstand the power ofvthe strike vote. Durham is a private company. If SAUSD wants control, they should have a government run bus service. You Republicans… you can’t have it both ways.
No, they should contract with a non union bus service instead. Many families in my city rely on public transport. If these union goons go on strike, kids will stay home and education will cease. Let’s hope these union bus drivers don’t decide to hurt our kids and our working families.
SAUSD is corrupt!
