I don't think it's a public school that gets out at 12:45 every Wednesday, is it?

That link specifies, "...when public schools have half-day sessions."

mckee high school

QuoteCan I refer to this link when I get a trip on half days?

You've been given a trip when public schools had a half day?

Or do you mean YOU had a half day because maybe you had no afternoon school?

The union failed us big time. First by going on strike in the first place, then by going back to work with no negotiating power.

buzz I feel that you should be the union president .

He's clearly waiting for a miracle or the Holy Spirit

I don't want to mention names but Trust me I know what I'm saying everything is peaches and cream at the beginning

Not surprise there remember drivers  are poorly train to get you their cdl not to deal with Situations and then they're told they are going to drive a little bit in the am and little bit in the pm

Quote from: docjones on May 22, 2023, 11:27:12 PMQuestion about trips. If a driver with Trip run has more seniority then a driver with a NO trip run, and there is an extra bus, who has the right to leave?

i have never seen that scenario no trips runs barely gets trips unless is over and above season and even then they get 1 or 2 a week

Quote from: PROUD MEMBER on May 22, 2023, 07:06:02 PMBuzz you are correct with regards to lunch hour pay. I recall when I use to do trips specifically to Manhattan and sometimes by the time we dropped them off at their destination it was already close to 11:00 and had to pick them back up by 12:30pm. And with the city traffic and lack of finding parking I'd just have to drive around for an hour or more and go back and get them. I would put in for the hour and get paid. That was probably 15 years ago but I never heard anything about that still not being in effect as of today.

thank you both buzz and proud member for the info nobody said anything about it ever ,I have a question if this still in effect how do we call it in do we have to call somebody or fill out a form ?

Quote from: Bussin4Livin on May 22, 2023, 12:32:45 PMThat's why the whole "get there" 15 mins before the trip makes no sense, the teachers make you wait another 20-30 min after the pick up time anyway. The best is the city trips you tell them be on the bus by 9:30 because we can only take the HOV until ten, do they? No, so we are stuck in traffic all to turn around in an hour as come back. Non of my trips have been educational, just a way for teachers to be out of the building because when they are on the trips all you have to hear about are their future trips.

nothing make sense here there is nothing educational about trips they love being stuck in traffic more time  on the bus = less time working

😂😂😂😂

trips are joke you're told to be there at 9:30 you get there you let them know while fellow drivers in front of the school argue over seniority and who should take the passengers the students come out 2 hours later once they on the bus teachers sit in the front and talk to each other while the back of the bus is burning 🔥 they just don't care they want you to drive the bus and do their job at the same time .then once you arrive to the destination they tell you don't go nowhere we only going to be 1 hour tops that hour turns into 2 and half while you might be hungry or you want to use the restroom some places you can't even leave the bus because there's no place to park it sucks that we have to put up with this bs and to top it off we don't even get compensated accordingly.
