We Are Uniting Around the Country
 “The unity of a body of people working together brings power. I’m happy to say we now have that power because we are Teamsters. I look forward to more school bus workers joining us as Teamsters.” LEEMON LAWYER School bus driver First Student Charleston, South Carolina |
As school bus workers, we are dedicated to providing the safest and most reliable student transportation possible. We also share many concerns regarding training, safety, route scheduling, pay, benefits, respect, and fairness on the job. As individual school bus workers, we are often ignored.
But when we unite and speak with one voice, we cannot be ignored.
Together, we can ensure that safety and mechanical problems on our buses are dealt with immediately -- not when our employers bother to get around to them. We can bargain as equals to win key improvements. We can have a voice in making sure that workplace policies are fair and consistent. And we can demand that we all be treated with respect.
When our cargo is children, working together to raise standards for service, safety and employment is not only good for us as school bus workers, it is good for the kids we transport every school day.
That's why school bus workers around the country are joining together and standing up for good jobs and safe, reliable school bus services for our communities.
Together, we can build the strength to win:
- Better Wages
- Affordable Health Care
- Safer school transportation
- Improved Training
- Fairness on the Job
