The bus driver’s union in Framingham reached a deal Sunday night with NRT – so the routes will be run as normal there. However, there’s still no deal in Marlboro and Westboro. The drivers weren't on strike early Monday morning in Westboro, but in Marlboro, they were. The district told students living within a mile and a half of their school they will be expected to walk, while students outside that radius will most likely have to get a ride.
Marlboro’s superintendent said that a limited number of buses may be available, but they will prioritize areas with high concentrations of students. The union, meanwhile, said they thought they were close to a deal, but haven’t gotten it done yet.“Different negotiations, different towns, Framingham stepped up," Jim Marks of Teamsters Local 170 said.
