Some of us who get calendars from non-public schools are wondering why they're not getting bus service on some of the days they're open during public school Easter vacation. Some have suggested that Pioneer doesn't want to give them the buses so they don't have to pay us double days. It's nothing that diabolical, folks, and Pioneer doesn't have that authority.

According to state law, non-public schools in NYC, (and only NYC), can choose 5 public school holidays per school year to have service. If they do not have service on some of the Easter vacation days, it's either because they are saving the day(s) for other holidays or have already used up their 5 days.

Enjoy the extra day(s) off!

I'll try to remember to copy them down so I can post them tomorrow.

Ya' got a point there, Joe. 

According to Citywide's website, Fouche ... or shall we call her Douche ... (pronounced "doo-shay") is still looking to hire PART-TIME professional school bus drivers ...

According to PIST, there are still 1181 drivers and matrons who are being replaced by scabs at Tufaro (22) and Ray Fouche's companies (87) and made an appeal today to the city council to investigate. They're probably our strongest ally.

Jacob is no longer collecting for the junkyard lot (Roy's). In Jimmy Ledger's absence rent is being collected by Gary, bus 209 and MSG, bus 229.  Be sure to pay by or before Friday, March 8. No rent is due for February because Roy has a heart. (If you're looking for a spot there is a waiting list.)

What's up with Curve's parking? Wants February and March rent. People parked half of January and half of February. Greedy bastards!

Paul gets welcomed back with a donut. What made the kid think he would want a donut? (LOL ... just kidding, Paul)

Not to belabor the point, but today there were so many people out that Ernie and Owen had to do runs this morning.

Now what? 

From Thursday's Daily News ...

The union is giving us $100 per day for Monday and Tuesday. See my other post ...

Ernie has the last of the local's strike checks and will be distributing them tomorrow morning.

Also, sometime next week, the union will be giving us $100 per day for Monday and Tuesday ($200 total) to try to help compensate for those days until the matter is taken to arbitration.

Got the word directly form the union.  We will not be reinstated untill midnight.  So you'll be covered when you wake up tomorow morning.

I didn't forget about you, bud ... Ernie just confirmed what you were told about prescriptions. Other medical benefits are supposed to be already reinstated, so if you have to resubmit any bills you can do so. If any of them get kicked back you should bring them right to Ernie.
