Union school bus drivers who transport city school children on field trips and to special events plan to protest the threat of their jobs being cut outside Monday's School Committee meeting at the Keith Middle School. The 14 drivers, members of Local 641 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, are calling on others to join them in a show of support.
...... The School Department already outsources about 45 routes to Tremblay Bus Co., whose drivers are non-union, part-time and do not receive benefits.
