Greyhound Iris plans discounts to keep layoffs unlikely
Trailways added runs and recalled furloughed workers after the strike began while Greyhound eyes discounts for next year to limit layoffs. Leslie White, Greyhound spokesperson, said replacements hired during the strike may be the first laid off in a slump as December and January staffing remains uncertain. The company resumed limited service in 27 states using non strikers and new hires amid sporadic violence and a grand jury ruling no charges. About 7,500 union members drive Greyhound buses earning an average of 35,744 dollars annually under the old contract.
