Recently I posted about joining me at the picket this week with the school bus drivers and monitors. Based on news on Monday, it sounds we can hold off on the picket for the moment. The Brattleboro Reformer has reported that the lockout of the bus drivers and monitors has been dropped, and that they are allowed back to work! This is good news for children and families who will see their regular drivers who know the bus routes. And it’s good for the drivers who can return to work while contract negotiations resume!
We’ll keep monitoring the situation and am ready to join the picket if and when it becomes necessary again during the course of the negotiations. Thank you for your care for the young people, their families, and the working people of our community!
