West Nipissing school bus drivers strike for second week, demanding pay raise from $18.11 to $21.10, rejecting $20 offer.
School bus drivers in West Nipissing, represented by United Steel Workers Local 2020, remain on strike for a second week against Alouette Bus Lines, demanding a pay raise from $18.11 to $21.10 per hour, rejecting a $20 offer.
The union says the company has not responded to their demands or reopened talks, citing a pay gap with Sudbury drivers who earn $25.44 hourly.
About 20 of the original 80 drivers continue picketing with community support, though some have returned to work, which union leaders say weakens solidarity.
Most Alouette-operated school bus routes remain cancelled, and Alouette has not commented on negotiations.
