Working Together To Drive Up Standards
“Drive Up Standards” is a truly global movement and it has moved up North! We are proud to have joined our American coworkers in the bus industry as Teamsters. Many of us work for global companies, so it’s appropriate that we have one strong Union to represent us throughout North America.
We’ve recently formed our Union with the Teamsters at First Student, Country Bus Lines, Loyalist Bus Lines, Boldrick Bus Lines and Stock Transportation in Ontario.
We expect more bus drivers, monitors and mechanics will join us as Teamsters in the coming year, for wages, benefits, safety and stability on the job. We’re Teamsters and encourage you to become Teamsters, as well!
Victories!
