Howard Co. school bus drivers rally for unionization amid disputes with contractor

It’s been a bumpy road getting students to and from school in Howard County, with the beginning of the school year riddled with bus driver shortages and route mishaps. Now, bus drivers employed by the district’s largest contractor, Zum, are trying to unionize. This morning, Howard County bus drivers employed by Zum Transportation Services joined members of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1994 to hold a rally ahead of their representation vote scheduled for next week.
