PRINCETON BD STRIKE

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, A TENTATIVE CONTRACT AGREEMENT WAS REACHED BETWEEN ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ITS TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS, POTENTIALLY ENDING A MORE THAN WEEK-LONG STRIKE. 
THE PRINCETON SCHOOL DISTRICT BUS DRIVER'S STRIKE, WHICH BEGAN OCTOBER 1ST AND HAS DISRUPTED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR MORE THAN 5,200 STUDENTS COULD COME TO AN END TODAY. DRIVERS WENT ON STRIKE OVER WAGES, ROUTE GUARANTEES AND IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS. LAST NIGHT THE UNION AND THE DISTRICT CAME TO TERMS ON A NEW DEAL WHICH INCLUDES THE WAGE INCREASES AND A NEW HEALTHCARE PLAN WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE CRITICAL COMPONENT TO RESOLUTION. THE UNION IS EXPECTED TO RATIFY THE AGREEMENT TODAY.
