VISALIA, Calif., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Transdev bus workers represented by Teamsters Local 517 are on strike against their employer for refusing to bargain in good faith and negotiate an economic package. July 28 marks 21 days since workers hit the picket line and the first missed paycheck for Visalia bus workers. In spite of the length of the strike, Local 517 members are standing strong and refusing to cave into the company's demands.
