Subject: Pupil Transportation Labor Coalition letter
Dear Gov. Inslee and Supt. Reykdal,
I am submitting the attached letter on behalf of a Coalition of Unions representing thousands of public school district bus drivers and contracted school transportation employees. This Coalition includes the Washington Education Association (WEA), Teamsters Joint Council 28, SEIU 925, AFT Washington, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 302, and Public School Employees of Washington.
The Coalition is seeking prompt resolution of this urgent situation in order to prevent unnecessary layoffs to staff and the disruption of necessary school-related services as our public schools reopen this Fall for remote instruction.
We request a meeting with Gov. Inslee at the soonest date possible so we can discuss the recommended options presented in this letter.
We eagerly await your prompt reply.
Best regards,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
