DETROIT – It looks like Detroit Department of Transportation bus drivers could be headed to court after walking off the job. The city is looking for a judge to send the union back to work, but the drivers are banding together and claiming their safety is at risk and they want more protections. When Dillard asked the man to put on a mask, he pulled his coat over his face and Dillard idles the bus. After some time, the man gets up, removes the COVID-19 distancing chain and asked Dillard why the bus isn’t moving. The DDOT drivers union is expected to hold a meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday and discuss the ongoing work stoppage.
