By Brian Aldes
On May 7, 2016, Forest Lake Teamsters participated in the Minnesota School Bus Roadeo at the Arden Hills
DMV. Drivers competed in three categories: a road skills test, written driver test and pre-trip inspection.
The road skills test included 11 different everyday obstacles such as a railroad crossing, student pickups and
parallel parking.
Teamster Steward Earl Nelson placed 4th overall, and 1st in the public school category, which earned him a trip
to the 46th Annual School Bus Drivers International Safety Competition, being held this year on July 16th and
17th in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Forest Lake School District generously provided the buses for practice and drivers received all the time
they needed during off-work hours and weekends.
The University agreed to structured labormanagement committees (LMC) to be facilitated
by the Bureau of Mediation Services (BMS). During the LMCs a variety of topics will be addressed
including team cleaning, bidding, and vacancies.
Six weeks maternity leave for expecting
mothers (up from two weeks).
With the campaign, Raises and Respect, alongside
AFSCME, we were able to make substantial gains
for all University unionized workers and it is now on
all of us to secure those gains and to fight like hell
to ensure we continue to make even more gains.
