School Bus Strike in Mat-Su: Progress Made, But No Deal Yet
School bus drivers in the Mat-Su area are holding firm in their strike, with no deal reached after two days of virtual talks. The strike, which began March 2nd, is due to key issues including driver training rules, better pay, and who covers the costs of extra health checks. Both sides are pushing for a resolution to get buses back on the road, with Durhams Edward Flavin describing recent progress as solid. The strike has led to a spike in absenteeism, with some schools seeing rates as high as 8%. Talks are ongoing, so stay tuned for the next round.
