Unifor welcomes 35 school bus drivers and mechanics at First Student Bus in Prescott, Ont. as the group voted overwhelmingly for certification by 92% on Dec. 13.
“Congratulations to our new members at First Student Bus who have chosen Unifor to represent them,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “School bus operators are an integral part of the public education system with important responsibilities, and we look forward to bargaining your first agreement.”
Certification by the Ontario Labour Relations Board is pending.
These members join over 1,100 other Unifor members who work for First Student throughout Ontario.
The unit has bus drivers and Skilled Trades mechanics and apprentices.
The key issues that led these members to unionize were wages and safety on and around the buses.
