Durham School Services Drivers Threaten Strike in Jacksonville Amid Contract Dispute
In Jacksonville, Florida, 275 school bus drivers with Durham School Services are threatening to strike if a fair contract agreement is not reached. The drivers, represented by Teamsters Local 512, have voted to authorize a strike due to dissatisfaction with the company's proposed concessions, which they claim undermine established rights and protections. The union has been negotiating with Durham for weeks, but no agreement has been reached. The potential strike could affect school transportation as students are set to return to class on August 10. The school district is monitoring the situation closely to ensure a smooth start to the school year.
