SUMMARY: Jackson City Council member Kenneth Stokes is advocating for the bus drivers of MV Transportation and their riders amid a strike. Stokes expressed concern over the strike’s devastating impact on riders who rely on the service, hindering their jobs and access to loved ones. He held a meeting at Cornerstone Baptist Church attended by drivers, riders, and the local union, but MV Transportation did not show up. The union is on strike due to MV’s failure to honor their collective bargaining agreement. Stokes emphasized the poor treatment of drivers and suggested reconsidering the city’s contract with MV if the situation does not improve.
