Our Chapters - Bus Drivers
There is power in a unionized workforce to make positive changes for ourselves and the communities we serve. Laidlaw already knew they have dedicated bus drivers who are absolutely committed to safety and service for our community's kids, and we've shown them it is in their interests to work with their workers at the negotiating table, too!
