ZUM BUS SOLIDARITY RALLY
09/02/25 - Teamsters Local Union No 570 
Teamsters Local 570 members at Zum Transportation in Jessup, Md., rallied today to show a unified front and their readiness to secure a strong first Teamsters contract. The group consists of more than 300 bus drivers, van drivers, trainers, and attendants who provide student transportation for Howard County Public Schools.
Earlier this year, the group voted by a four-to-one margin to join the Teamsters in order to fight for a contract that reflects the work that they put into their community and gives them the respect they’ve more than earned.
Wages remain one of the key outstanding issues in contract negotiations, while the employer has agreed to back pay that will be retroactive to the first day of the 2025-2026 school year once the contract has been ratified. Local 570 met with Zum last week and has proposed additional bargaining dates in September. |
