1181 Drivers Forum

A member sent me this pic of a Daily News article. The last paragraph says the DOE still has to vote on whether to pay contractors for March and April. WTF?? To me, this says Neil has been paying out of his pocket and hoping the city honors their end.





Another member sent me this article from today's scumbag Post:

I guess its unemployment if the city refuses to pay bus companies.

Welp 👀

we need to get paid for our benefits and our accural check 6-15-2020

Maybe they should go after DeBlasio and his wife for the 1.8 billion they stole from the city first if they want to talk about "wasted" money

Here's a Daily News article from yesterday. I like one sentence ....

"Jason Conwall, a spokesman for Gov. Cuomo, said "school districts should be consistent with the terms of their pupil transportation contracts."

https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-school-bus-budget-cuts-20200423-7esosj6eu5fqnannu4zewahnmm-story.html?fbclid=IwAR3ktrOmFiU3xlwN5vKdGXGWhAsunXaHjD4GHpJH7Yzvf9B5XFCscXIQxeE

What is the position of Pioneer in regards to this situation. Does anyone know if the owner has applied for the  Coronavirus Stimulus Package for Small Business Owner? Seems as if the Federal Government would be protecting small business's from going bust in this situation... if the city renege's on its contract with the owner.

Even though I BELIEVE Neil technically has two businesses (Pioneer Transportation for the drivers and Pioneer Charter Services for the Matrons) he also has more than one property. I don't know if that makes a difference and even if it does I'd ASSUME the matrons would come under a Small Business but as far as the drivers again I'd ASSUME it depends on how many drivers there are combined between the yards.

the simple and only answer is does pioneer have this clause in contract... i would think we are good to go being that he is paying us already...

So when do we know what we're doing.Do we file for unemployment this Sunday,or do we continue getting the 85% check next Friday?

no UE...as of now we continue getting paid.... i think its just the 2 rag paper and this Stringer guy cause BS...  We will prevail the city is smart enough to realize they need us back in full force comes sept....so its not throwing money away like the rag papers are making it look like..

We've been told several times that unless we hear differently things stay the same.

Got it. I just didn't want to assume otherwise. I guess we'll hear  what  this Stringer has to say on Wednesday going forward. Thanks

They are not going to pay our medical past today if the city doesn't come through.

well then need the letter stating that to be able to get new insurance.

If it becomes necessary I'm sure we will be provided with that.
