No new negotiations are scheduled in the dispute between New York City school bus drivers and the private bus companies that employ them. The bus drivers have been on strike to protest the city's plan to bid for contracts that do not include job protections. The National Labor Relations Board is expected to hear testimony on the legality of the strike on Tuesday. Students affected by the strike have other options for transportation, but attendance has fallen slightly.
