DeCamp Bus Union Employees Plan to Strike

Union employees of DeCamp Bus Lines have announced that they plan to go on strike Thursday, starting at 5 a.m.

"Attention all passengers, effective 5 a.m. Thursday morning, Sept. 2, 2010, the union employees of DeCamp Bus Lines will be on strike," an alert on the company's website reads. "There will be no service. We will keep riders informed as information becomes available."

DeCamp is a major provider of bus service to and from New York City and makes daily stops in Caldwell and West Caldwell.

The membership of Local 1317 actually voted to authorize a strike about three months ago, but drivers never actually made good on the threat.

The last known drivers' strike at DeCamp Bus Lines occurred in 1982. How long this work stoppage will last still has not been determined. More information will be released following an emergency union meeting on Wednesday.
