Everett School Bus Drivers Ready to Strike

Bus drivers in the Everett School District, represented by Teamsters Local 38, threaten to strike if contract negotiations with Durham School Services fail. The union, comprising 175 bus workers, recently held a solidarity event to demonstrate their unity. A strike could disrupt transportation for thousands of students and families in one of Washington's largest school districts. The drivers seek a fair contract, emphasizing their importance in providing reliable student transportation. The absence of a contract could lead to significant challenges for parents and guardians reliant on school buses.

Local families have expressed concerns about the potential impact on their children's daily commutes. Teamsters Local 38 aims to secure better working conditions and wages for its members. Without an agreement, the situation may escalate, prompting further action from the union.
