Happy Labor Day! As billionaires try to take over our country, this is a critical moment to stand with working people. Will you join us this week to stand with our school bus drivers and monitors? I’ll be there Tuesday, September 2, outside Brattleboro Union High School at 7:30am.
Kuzmeskus, which is owned by an out-of-state private-equity firm, has locked out school bus drivers and monitors for the Windham Southeast district. It has been chaos for students and families, with scab drivers who don’t know our community or our streets. Teamsters Local 597 and community supporters are picketing to get Kuzmeskus to go back to the table, stop the lockout, and get our bus drivers back to work. I’ll be there bright and early Tuesday morning. Will you join us?
Here’s the picket schedule for this week:
—> TUESDAY, 9/2—BUHS 7:30-9:45am and 2:00-4:15pm
—> WEDNESDAY, 9/3—Academy School 7:15-9:30am and 1:45-3:45pm
—> THURSDAY, 9/4—Green Street School 7:15-9:30am and 1:45-3:45pm
The drivers and monitors appreciate any amount of time folks can show up for. More info: https://www.facebook.com/Vermontlocal597
Many of you have been asking what you can do in this moment. This is one very good thing you can do.
See you at the picket?
