A federal mediator is stepping in and bus drivers will be returning to work by Saturday, some already back in the saddle this morning, after a tentative agreement between for profit operator Keolis and Teamsters Local 533. As previously noted by the union, the nearly two-week strike impacted mostly the less affluent, particularly those relying on public transportation to get to their medical appointments. Here’s one comment we got on Facebook today, alluding to the combined effects of the strike and smoky skies: “Between the smoke and the buses not running I've been pretty much stuck home. I have a very bad heart and have had multiple surgeries and am extremely sensitive to it. I can't even open my windows right now and it's definitely taking a toll on my mental health.”
