The union representing Westchester's striking Bee-Line workers offered to restore service for bus-dependent school children who live in a New Rochelle apartment complex. With the school district not comfortable with one group of affected students being singled out, it was uncertain if a deal could be arranged.
But the union is on the right track. Getting students out of expensive taxis and off the streets is not only a humane gesture but a smart bid for at least some support from a public that is, we suspect, having as much trouble as bus company officials in swallowing union demands. Smarter still would be addressing all stranded students in New Rochelle and in Yonkers and Mount Vernon, as well. <snip>
