OCEAN CITY – The town will be looking to the foreign workforce to ease its need for additional bus drivers during the summer season.
Last month the Transportation Commission discussed recruitment opportunities to hire much needed bus drivers for the summer season. In broadening the hiring pool, the commission voted to make bus driver requirements less stringent.
The town’s former requirements included hiring bus drivers that were at least 21 years of age, driving experience of at least five years and no more than four points on their license.
The commission agreed to lower the age requirement to 20, reduce driving experience to four years and to review driving records on a case-by-case basis.

This is soooooooo wrong!
ReplyDeleteWith as many people that we have on welfare - we should make them work before we bring in foreigners!
After Paris, you won't see me board a bus with a foreign driver.
ReplyDeleteThe Town of OC is run by sickos.
Sounds like an age discrimination lawsuit brewing to me.
ReplyDeleteWonder if my 17 year old son can drive?
ReplyDeleteOn New Years Eve I had too much to drink so I took a bus home. Heck, I had never driven a bus before.
ReplyDeleteSo, how much does it pay? I mean, for a US Citizen with a clean record.
ReplyDeleteHow about most have no licenses and even if so.....how many can drive well? How many are charged with sex crimes? More money lost in the end.
ReplyDeleteBus drivers get paid $14/hr and have not seen a wage increase in over 7 years. Employers of these foreign workers get up to $1k - $2k cash to guarantee minimum number of work hour plus they are exempt from having to pay unemployment and Social Security taxes. The Town tried using these kids on the Boardwalk tram in the past but there was a problem of fare theft and rider injury.
ReplyDeleteI would apply for that job if I could get a carry permit.
ReplyDeleteI would like any job but I'm an AMERICAN!
ReplyDeleteThe reason employers im OC hire foreign workers is because they can work later in the summer.If american schools started later and finished earlier they would hire american kids but since our kids have everthing handed to them maybe that might not even work.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Citizen at 60 and a good driver with a clean record, but you can take that fourteen dollars and shove it where the sun don't shine.
ReplyDeleteAnd then you want to undercut that with hiring a bunch of illegal spics?
Eff Yew, OC!
