School bus strike is averted as Unifor, Stock in tentative deal

Unifor, the union representing school bus drivers for TDSB and TDCSB, has reached a tentative settlement with Stock Transportation, avoiding a strike on Thursday.  A strike would have stranded around 4,235 TCDSB students and 4,105 in the TDSB with the majority of affected schools east of Yonge St. A press release said the tentative contract is supported by the union’s bargaining committee, but details will not be released until the deal is ratified.
