2 June Shot Line strike over midhudsonnews
NY public transportation, June 1, Short Line is planning to bring in out-of-state bus drivers later this week to restart its commuter service between Rockland and New York City, which has been crippled by a 10-day-old drivers’ strike.
There’s no indication the strike between Short Line’s parent company, Hudson Transit Lines, and Transport Workers of America Local 225, the union representing 240 drivers, mechanics and ticket agents, will be settled anytime soon. A federal mediator has been brought in to direct negotiations.
The strike has hit about 3,500 commuters from Rockland, Orange and northern New Jersey particularly hard. Riders have had to scramble to find other means to get into New York City. In Rockland, about 750 commuters use Short Line’s express service from the Exit 14 park-and-ride lot in Nanuet, and another 250 or so catch Short Line buses from Suffern to midtown and downtown.
5/23/06 NY public transportation, Ithaca, 23 May 08 -- Bus strike. Late Thursday night, as a midnight strike deadline approached, an Ithaca-bound bus driver pulled to a stop at the Binghamton bus station and told his passengers they would not be able to finish their trip -- at least not on the bus. At midnight, drivers, mechanics, and ticket agents for Coach USA, which operates Short Line bus service from New York City to Ithaca, went on strike after a proposed contract was voted down. today.14850.com
