Drivers Want More Money to Shuttle Facebook Employees
Published at | Updated at
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images(MENLO PARK, Calif.) — Think everybody associated with Facebook is happy as a clam? Not if you’re a shuttle bus driver.
Given how expensive it is to live in Silicon Valley, drivers complain that they’re vastly underpaid and under-compensated for taking Facebook workers to where they have to be.
Now, there’s pressure on Loop Transportation, which employs the shuttle drivers, to allow their workers to unionize.
Among the complaints is that some drivers are on split shifts and often wait hours unpaid to bring Facebook workers back to their homes in San Francisco.
According to the Teamsters Union, most of the 45 drivers have asked the organization for union representation.
The Teamsters also want Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to back the drivers’ push for higher wages and better hours.
