CA Strip Club Becomes Employee-Owned And Unionized

School kids who take the bus have seen it all this year: missed pick-ups, National Guard drivers, and now a party bus with neon lights and a stripper pole.

Last week, Brooke Charter School teacher Jim Mayers shared in a since-deleted tweet that the charter bus that was hired for a school field trip fell through. So instead of cancelling the outing, they just found another bus. And because of the current transportation shortage, the only bus they could find was the aformentioned party bus. MassLive has the full story here.

It's a shame Mr. Mayers deleted the tweet; I would've loved to have seen what the bus looked like. He has since shared this, though:

Hey, if outcome of the story is more people become more invested in making sure the current transportation issues are addressed and solved in their communities, that's a good thing.
