Bus Driver Strike Averted in Framingham, Strikes Continue in Marlboro and Westboro

Will students in Marlboro and Westboro make it to school on time tomorrow? It remains unclear as the bus driver strike is still on in those two communities. However, Framingham Public Schools will operate as usual as a deal was reached with the bus drivers' union late Sunday evening. The union representing drivers of bus company NRT had been fighting for better wages and benefits. Marlboro and Westboro were also negotiating with NRT through the week but seem to have not reached an agreement yet. Members of Teamsters Local 170 later confirmed that although there is a resolution in Framingham, they are "not on strike at this time" in Westboro with pay and benefits remaining in contention. The situation is different in Marlboro as drivers are set to go on strike beginning Monday morning. According to School Superintendent Robert Tremblay, potentially thousands of students may not have come to school for the entire duration of the possible strike. It is unclear when it will conclude.
