Union Workers Get Employer to Support Immigration Reform and Join Citizenship Caravan
Rosalia Tenorio
Greyhound bus drivers took the initiative to share with their employer why comprehensive immigration reform is important for the community and posed a challenge to the company: Greyhound Bus Line could either keep up with the change or stay behind. The company recognized the importance of immigrants to their business and decided to embrace diversity through their full support of immigration reform.
A Greyhound van will be participating in the Citizenship Caravan to Bakersfield, August 14. Bus Drivers Leonard Weaver and Sindy Vasquez – members of the Amalgamated Transit Union, ATU Local 1700 –championed the immigration reform campaign at their workplace and are looking forward to the caravan. In the past, they were both assigned to drive routes in the Fresno-Modesto-Salinas area, which allowed them to get to know farm workers and their struggles.
