Quoted from the article:
“No one was sent home – she chose not to do the overtime work,” he said. “Now she’s decided she should get paid (for work not done).”
But Tyler Burns, the president of the union, doesn’t see it that way.
He said the driver in question typically works a split shift – she works in the morning, goes home in the afternoon and then works again every evening.
A day in advance, she accepted an overtime shift for the afternoon of April 4. But when she saw which bus she’d be driving, she asked for another bus.
Burns thinks that could easily have been arranged – drivers are shuffled from one bus to the other all the time.
But the driver – who has requested anonymity – was told she had no choice but to drive the bus with the pro-life ad.
“When she refused, they took away the overtime,” Burns said. “She was more than willing to do the work – she just didn’t feel comfortable driving that bus.”
