Transit drivers walk off the job in Milwaukee County

MILWAUKEE - Tens of thousands of people who use the Milwaukee County Transit System to reach their destinations will have to make alternative plans.

Some 750 union bus drivers, plus mechanics, are on strike after failing to reach a labor contract agreement with transit officials. The county buses deliver 150,000 passenger rides each day.

Bus service ended at 3 a.m. Wednesday when drivers and mechanics stopped working and began picketing. Amalgamated Transit Union Local 998 leaders say the strike will last until Saturday.
