School Bus and Transit Workers Drive Up Standards

Around the country, school bus and transit workers are joining together and working to make real improvements in their jobs and lives.

In their effort to organize, they are making sure they have a voice at work, are bargaining as equals with the employers, and are working to ensure that they are all treated fairly and with respect. More than 17,700 School Bus and Transit workers have organized with the Teamsters since the campaign since Spring 2006.
