New York City School Bus Drivers Set Strike for Tomorrow

The union representing New York City school bus drivers said a strike will begin tomorrow, forcing parents to find alternative ways for about 152,000 of the city’s 1.1 million public-school students to get to class.

The drivers, who work for private companies, plan the walkout to protest the city’s refusal to guarantee their jobs as it searches for new contracts on 1,100 routes serving 22,500 special-needs children. New York has 7,700 bus routes.
