Union says vaccine mandate will worsen bus driver shortage

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Schools and businesses are preparing for the new vaccine mandate for all employees who work with school-age children.

Some unions in Washington stated questions are flooding in on how to get a vaccine exemption, with some saying it’ll make staffing shortages even worse. The new vaccine mandate decrees that people who refuse to get the shot will lose their jobs.

Teamsters Local 174, which represents school bus drivers in Seattle, stated it is worried about the impact.

The union is making clear that it is pro-vaccination and urging members to get their shots but stated when it comes to the mandate that it is concerned.

1. It's amazing how many

anti-gubmint yabboes there are in the transportation field.

2. Sorry. Someone who will not make the simplest effort to protect children should not be around them.

Nobody's asking these people to pull their own teeth out. It is a free and simple shot in the arm. They need to quit whining and let everybody get on with our lives.

3. Too bad. Should also be ineligible for unemployment then

5. I would think they could hire new drivers

Lots of people would want a good job that pays union rates. Am I wrong?

7. It usually isn't a full time 40 hr per week job

They are usually needed for a couple hours in the morning, and a couple more in the afternoon. Not much time in between to do a lot of other stuff.

6. I'm a bus driver. They can't afford me. That's for sure. It'd have to be six figures for me to

even think about it. I'm retired and have become quite accustomed to being a man of leisure, thank you very much.

8. When I was growing up in rural upstate New York, the school bus drivers

were all local farmers. A paid job twice a day, plenty of time before, between, and after the bus runs to do all the farming chores.

9. They

need to evolve and get a clue
