NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 20: School buses and drivers at the Atlantic Express Transportation Crop. in Queens head back to work after the drivers and matrons suspended their January 16th strike on February 20, 2013 in New York City. Bus drivers and matrons, who are represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181, serve more than 150,000 children, many of them with disabilities. After a one month strike and no concessions from the Bloomberg administration, workers decided to wait to bargain with prospective New York City mayoral candidates after this year's election.
