Orange County residents depending on busses to commute around may need to find a different way to get around with drivers planning to strike at midnight.
“We believe the riders will understand why we are striking when they find out they don’t get any restroom breaks and no raise especially when the board got a wage increase, yet they’ve given us zero,” said Eric Jimenez. “I think they’ll understand and fight with us.”'I'm Loving Every Minute of It': Rams Stars Head To Disneyland After Super Bowl Win
According to OCTA, the strike could potentially affect the 70,000 people that ride the busses daily. Services would be slashed without the drivers, creating significant disruptions to those who rely on public transit to commute to work and home. “No one wants to see a strike happen,” said OCTA spokesperson Joel Zlotnik. “I think we all agree on that we know how much our riders depend upon public transit about 85 percent of riders use the bus as their primary means of transportation; to get to work, school, doctor’s appointments. We don’t want to see them hurt by this.”OCTA would not divulge specifics of the negotiations which continued Monday with a third-party mediator.
