The drivers got a nice raise, but not as much as the district was willing to offer new hires. And the article says that every driver covered their route, so I’m not sure how this counted as a strike? Still, a good outcome.

for a labor-hostile, so-called “right to work” state it doesn’t take much to count as a strike.

Have they considered going on strike every Monday morning?

“Attention parents of Jefferson Davis County, your brats will not be picked up for school today unless you give us a well-deserved pay raise.”
