Bill > SB00355

This bill proposes to modify existing state labor laws by mandating that any collective bargaining agreement (a negotiated contract between a labor union and an employer) for school bus drivers, which is established on or after July 1, 2025, must explicitly prohibit school bus drivers from engaging in strikes. By preventing school bus drivers from participating in work stoppages, the bill aims to ensure continuous transportation services for students and prevent potential disruptions to educational operations. The legislation effectively removes the option for school bus drivers to use strikes as a labor negotiation tactic, which could impact their ability to leverage collective bargaining power. The bill's purpose appears to prioritize the consistent and uninterrupted transportation of students to and from school by eliminating the possibility of strike actions by bus drivers.
