Video: Mile Square Workers Say, "¡Ya Basta!"

APRIL 11 – TWU Local 100 negotiators, led by Administrative VP Angel Giboyeaux, met today with Mile Square Transportation owner Harry Rodriguez in a continuing effort to negotiate a contract. The sticking point is management’s determination to put in place a “two-tier” wage structure, in which new hires will make dramatically less than current employees, setting them up for raises that never reach current levels. Because our members at Mile Square, who take kids to and from school, work only 25 hours per week and not throughout the year, their wages are less than poverty level.

After meeting at our new union hall at 347 Saw Mill River Parkway, over 100 school bus drivers and monitors represented by TWU Local 100 headed to the Ramada Inn, where negotiations were taking place.
