Bus drivers in the Winnipeg School Division will be hitting the picket line as of Tuesday, CBC News has confirmed. CBC News contacted the Winnipeg School Division (WSD) earlier Monday morning to see if there were any developments. The province's largest school division reached an impasse with UFCW Local 832 — which represents 95 Winnipeg School Division bus drivers — over salaries, Chris Broughton, chair of the Winnipeg School Division's board of trustees, said last week. The Winnipeg School Division school bus drivers will be on the picket line, located at the bus depot at the WSD offices, at 7 a.m. Tuesday, a UFCW spokesperson said. The strike will impact about 2,300 students throughout Winnipeg School Division, the division said in a news release last week.
