Parents won't need to scramble to find a way to get their child to and from school after bus drivers voted in favour of a new collective agreement.
Transco-CSN Workers Union members voted 81 per cent in favour of the five year contract Wednesday night.
The deal includes wage increases of 1.4 per cent retroactive to July 1, 2017, 1.6 per cent on July 1 of this year, 2 per cent in 2019 and 3 per cent in each of the last two years.
The vote puts an end to the possibility of a general strike that would have affected more than 15,000 students at the English Montreal School Board, the Lester B. Pearson School Board, Marguerite-Bourgeoys School Board and Commission scolaire de Montréal.
