While having a discussion with an administrator of a famous group of schools, we identified certain difficulties that were faced by the management while dealing with the bus drivers' union. They associate themselves with a certain political party and go on strikes very often. The strikes are conducted in order to have a hike in salary.

Please provide your valuable comments/suggestions in this regard.

Dear Sir,

You need to sit with the drivers and address their issues once and for all. You may enter into a written settlement with them regarding the pay raise and other benefits. Include a clause stating that they will not raise any further demands for 2-3 years until the term of the settlement expires. It is not advisable to allow them to hold you to ransom every time. Alternatively, you can appoint a contractor by outsourcing the driver services. Ensure that the contractor complies with all labor laws and establish a proper contract agreement. If the Contract Labour (R&A) Act is applicable, register with the authorities and engage a licensed contractor.

It is a well-known fact that private schools seldom pay living wages or even minimum wages to their employees, drivers included. Having a union or association to ensure their basic entitlements is their fundamental right. Appointing them through a contractor offers only a temporary solution.
