BURLINGTON, Vt. -- The union that represents almost 70 Vermont bus drivers is holding a negotiating session with the Chittenden County Transportation Authority in hopes of averting a strike.
As off 11 p.m. Saturday, the drivers who carry about 9,500 people a day in the state's largest county and the Chittenden County Transportation Authority were still at the bargaining table. There is no immediate word on details of the talks.
The drivers say that if no deal is reached they will go on strike on Monday.
At issue are working conditions, part-time drivers, and working hours.
Driver Rob Slingerland says they're hoping for a new contract.
General Manager Bill Watterson says he's hopeful an 11th hour agreement can avoid a strike.
