The drivers and monitors, who are employed at yards in Aurora and Elk Grove, Ill., will deliver written letters with their demands to management at their respective yards. A third group will also present a letter at the company's headquarters in Oak Forest, Ill.
Cook-Illinois has underpaid workers, forced workers to drive old and dilapidated buses and refused to pay workers for sick time, personal days and holidays, despite contractual language that says otherwise.
