No Progress in School Bus Drivers Strike
- Share via
Striking bus drivers planned to return to the picket lines today after no progress was made in restarting negotiations with the Los Angeles Unified School District’s biggest transportation contractor.
Representatives of Teamsters Local 572 and the bus company, Laidlaw Education Services, did not meet over the weekend and have not scheduled negotiations, a union spokesman said.
As a result, schedule disruptions affecting 20,000 students are expected to continue into a second week.
