Workers at First Student in San Leandro have voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 853. The 40 new Teamsters provide student transportation for San Leandro Unified School District and San Lorenzo Unified School District.



The workers are now covered under the Teamsters First Student National Master Agreement, the largest collective bargaining agreement at any private school bus company in the United States.



“I voted to join the Teamsters because I wanted to be part of a union that addresses concerns and advocates for a better future for all of us,” said Vanessa Bumbrico, bus operator at First Student and new member of Teamsters Local 853.
