        I’m a school bus driver and we’re unionized (Teamsters) … at least for now. Our contract states that if ever fewer than than 50% of the drivers are in the union, the contract is voided. A lot of the newer drivers are not signing up for the union because they don’t want to pay the dues which are around $80 per month. We are surrounded by non-union school districts that pay their drivers about $8 less per hour and don’t provide health insurance, PTO or a pension like we get.

        In case this isn’t obvious, school bus drivers are generally some dumb motherfuckers.
