Chicago Public Schools in talks with Uber, Lyft after bus drivers quit over vaccine mandate

A mass resignation of bus drivers refusing to abide by a COVID-19 vaccination mandate has led to a scramble for Chicago schools.
A mass resignation of Chicago Public Schools bus drivers refusing to abide by a coronavirus vaccination mandate led to a citywide scramble to find transportation for thousands of students on Monday as school started.
It is astounding just how childishly clueless these totalitarians truly are. They fervently believe that they operate in a vacuum and that they hold ALL the cards ... at least until reality raises a claw and bursts their putrid bubble. ROTFLMAO!
According to The Chicago Sun-Times, about 2,100 students — including 990 kids in special education — were given barely two days’ notice that their bus route would not be available for the first day of school. Their parents, needless to say, were not pleased.
I don't blame the parents for being angry ... their libtard government, as per usual, planned to fail and failed to plan, again ... and again and again and again ...
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is currently in talks with various rideshare companies, including Uber and Lyft, to transport students to school. She said she had her staff reach out to the two companies to “see what they can do to provide resources to help our families who need alternative means of transportation to get the kids to school and get them there safely.”
She notably called this “an all-hands-on-deck moment.”
"An all-hands-on-deck moment" brought to you directly by the serial ineptitude of Democrat Mayor Lightfoot and her simpering flunkies.
However, reporters were quick to point out that the companies have policies against anyone under the age of 18 from riding without an adult. Further, the school district requires specific background checks on employees, contractors and volunteers, which the rideshare drivers would have to undergo.
Uh oh ... didn't see THAT coming, did ya, Lori, eh? Heh heh heh heh heh.
Also, neither Lyft nor Uber has made COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for their drivers.
Uh oh, again ... GULP! BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Lightfoot admitted that several of the issues raised by reporters were “a little ahead” of her office’s planning of the crisis, “but as soon as we know what the plan is going to be, we’ll definitely let you know.”
Awww, Lori ... a slug is way more than "a little ahead" of you and your office - in the area of planning AND intelligence, dearie.
Chicago Public Schools mandated coronavirus vaccines for all employees and contractors, and more than 73 drivers resigned after refusing to abide by the mandate.
At a news conference, Lightfoot noted the drivers who resigned were contractors.
“CPS believed there were bus drivers in place,” she said. “It was only Friday that the notification came from those third parties that they had a shortage of drivers. That is not CPS’ responsibility. We have a contract with those companies. We had an expectation that they were going to fulfill their contract.”
Nope, you coward ... YOU and CPS are the ones who caused this crisis by being dictatorial assholes and not even thinking to plan ahead for the obvious fallout that would inevitably result. You own this ... don't try to blame anyone else, bitch.
Even before the 73 contractors quit with little notice, however, the school district was still short by nearly 500 drivers than what’s needed to man its 14,500 routes.
Oh great! CPS was already way short of drivers, so naturally you're going to make snap, autocratic decisions that will clearly inflame that existing problem. Way to go, Lori! You just keep on keepin' on in running your Democrat Plantation into the dirt, you libtard moron.
The mayor acknowledged there would be families for whom the situation would be difficult. “But we’re going to work hard,” she said, “to make sure that we solve those and address those problems.”
Yeah ... right. Everyone knows how concerned you are for all of the little people of Chicago, Lori ... that's why you dismissively oversee THOUSANDS of shootings and HUNDREDS of murders EVERY year in Chicago ... mostly in the poorest areas committed by the rabid dogs of your Democrat Plantation that you go out of your way to coddle and protect. Puhleeeeeeeease! ROTFLMAO!
According to the report, Chicago Public Schools are offering families $1,000 upfront and $500 monthly for a travel reimbursement until the problems are fixed.
Ah, yes ... there it is ... the Democrat solution to everything - throw other people's money at a f*ck-up of your very own making! BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Heck, for $1,000 up front and $500 per month, maybe these families can buy and maintain a car to drive their little ones to school, eh?
