WINDSOR, ONT.—Unifor won’t be intimidated by First Student Canada after the school bus company threatened to lock out its Windsor, Ont. school bus drivers if they refuse to take their offer, which continues to underpay and undermine the members.
“This is bordering on bad faith bargaining,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne.
