DESCRIPTION:Oakland First Student school bus drivers are facing a union busting attack 
 by the management. The workers have also faced racist and sexual 
 harassment.\n\nSolidarity Needed\n\nOakland First Student Bus Drivers Under 
 Attack!\n\nFirst Student school bus drivers in Oakland have been fighting 
 their bosses for a contract since November 2014 to try to win a living 
 wage.\nTheir wages are substandard. The starting wage is $15 / hour and 
 many drivers have to work other jobs to survive. Meanwhile First Student 
 transit workers in San Francisco are making double their wages for doing 
 the same job. But the management refuses to give a wage increase!\nThe 
 company, First Student, is retaliating against union activists and workers 
 who speak out about bad working conditions, low wages and sexual 
 harassment.\n\nThe workers voted to affiliate with Teamsters Local 853 but 
 have not yet won a contract. They have voted down three contracts and are 
 looking to the community for support. \n\nTransportation workers need to 
 stand together for our brothers and sisters at Oakland First Student. We 
 need your help!\nThe workers are in a Federal Mediation Hearing which 
 continues at \n10am, Tuesday August 25\n7677 Oakport St., Suite 
 550\nOakland\nPlease attend the Federal Mediation Hearing and contact us if 
 you want to support their struggle.\nContact: (510) 927-8498 /
