Seattle School Bus Drivers Deserve Quality, Affordable Healthcare
This petition had 131 supporters
School bus drivers at First Student in Seattle are in contract negotiations with their employer, First Student, who is refusing to provide the drivers with quality, affordable healthcare.
- Their current healthcare plan is not affordable: only 26 out of over 400 drivers purchased it, and none purchased family coverage
- The new plans the company has proposed are not quality: they cover preventative care, but almost nothing for hospital visits or diagnostic procedures
- Most drivers are currently uninsured
We, the undersigned, demand that First Student and the Seattle School District provide quality, affordable healthcare to the school bus drivers who transport our children safely every day.
