In answer to the query posted a couple of days ago about part-time bus
drivers in other cities: a friend working in the New York City Transit
Authority says there are no parttime drivers; they are excluded
by the contract, which guarantees all drivers 40 hours per week.

The MTA, however, is demanding to re-open the contract to eliminate thousands
of jobs. Whether they have the bus driver provision in their sights at the
moment I don't know. What is clear is that TWU Local 100 leaders have
collaborated with management's "rationalization" schemes.
