Quote from: PROUD MEMBER on Today at 02:08:23 AMAnother big question
If this does happen does it mean as of November 1st that Pioneer and the other companies are closing their doors. Because if not aren't we guaranteed full pay each week for 39 weeks per year until June of 2028?
Just because the owners lost their contracts with the DOE that doesn't nullify their contract with the Union. I mean I'm not a Labor Attorney but it seems logical to me or at least I hope so.

I'LL just say, what happened during COVID?
I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.

During Covid I don't think anyone was worried about getting paid from the company because between the combined state & FEDERAL unemployment benefits at one point we were getting more than we would have been taking home in our paychecks. And obviously the circumstances are different now.

Yes, but you mentioned the 39 guaranteed weeks. The way that went out the window then, it'll go out now. If buses don't go out the company doesn't get paid, and neither will we.

And again I'll mention the benefits. If we're out as of Nov 1 that means we will not have worked even one day that month to be entitled to coverage for the month. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

My gut says we need a miracle before October 31st. If not I think and hope if a new Mayor is elected on November 4th that he'll step in and get this resolved and we'll be back to work by the 3rd week of November or at the latest the first week of December. If it's the guy that wants free MTA buses then he should just see that the Panel approves the contracts and then figure out a way to have the DOE pay them. I'd assume it costs much more to run the MTA that he does to run School Buses.
