SUMMARY: JTRAN bus services in Jackson, Mississippi, are currently suspended due to a strike by union workers protesting against MV Transportation, the company managing JTRAN since January. Employees accuse MV of unfair treatment, including punitive actions for taking sick leave or requesting time off. The strike emerged after failed contract negotiations, with unions and management unable to agree on a safety-related provision. MV argues that certain safety violations warrant termination to protect passengers. Jackson city officials are urging both parties to resume negotiations, emphasizing the significant impact this strike has on the community’s transit needs. The timeline for resuming services remains uncertain.

SUMMARY: No. 9 Ole Miss’s national championship hopes were dashed after a 24-17 loss to Florida, a must-win game for the Rebels. Despite outgaining the Gators, Ole Miss failed to score in the red zone, resulting in two turnovers on downs and a missed field goal. Jaxson Dart had a strong start with two touchdown passes but threw two late interceptions. Ole Miss struggled on the ground without its leading rusher, while Florida capitalized with a balanced attack. The Rebels, now 8-3, must regroup for the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State. This loss likely drops them from playoff contention.
