LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - JCPS has canceled 47 bus routes for Monday, Nov. 6 after 85 bus drivers called out as of Sunday night, according to officials.
Looking into it, first, the district has 600 bus drivers. 87 sounds like most of them to me, but it isn’t.
Second, they do have a Union, but because they’re public sector, they aren’t allowed to strike, and the union isn’t involved.
But yes, it’s a protest about hours and about them being mistreated by the kids. Working conditions, essentially. The Union can’t legally support them, there’s other ways, but the Union morally supports them.
Federal employees can’t strike, but other state and local public sector unions absolutely can.
