Union-busters shut down 100 percent
Published Jul 1, 2011 7:02 PM
More than 500 militant Boston school bus drivers from Steelworkers Local
8751 and supporters achieved 100-percent shutdown of First Student,
Inc.’s union-busting “summer bid” and ramped up the struggle
for contract justice. Supporters included City Councilor Charles Yancey, the
Greater Boston Labor Council, Massachusetts AFL-CIO, UNITE-HERE Local 26,
International Action Center and others. Local 8751 once again demonstrated to
First Student and their City government co-conspirators the unbeatable power of
“old school” union solidarity!
