A hundred sixty-five school bus drivers and monitors with Durham School Services in Summerville, South Carolina have voted to join the Teamsters union. The workers want fairness, justice and respect on the job and they pushed forward with unionization despite strong opposition from company management. The union says that management anti-union campaign was a vicious campaign of fear, division and worker intimidation. But the workers beat it.

1. I worked in management my whole career, and here's what I think about unions.

1. I got my salary, benefits and a safer working environment by standing on the shoulders of the union membership. I appreciate you. Thanks.
2. Every employer gets the union contract it deserves.

2. so good to hear that somewhere a group can organize

and join a union in such a toxic atmosphere for unions.
