In Brattleboro, about 40 school bus drivers were locked out by a massive corporation. A lock out can be better for workers than a strike, according to Labor Notes magazine. “We will be picketing on Friday (August 22) at 2:15 p.m. outside Brattleboro high school and the Academy school in Brattleboro,” Curtis Clough told the Valley Post in a voice phone interview on August 20. He's president of the workers' union, which has a web site at www.teamsterslocal597.net.
The workers will hold rallies in Brattleboro next week. Details are available by contacting them via the above web site.
