Representatives of 600 striking Boston school bus drivers agreed to a tentative 18-month contract, ending a 16-day walkout, school officials said. A ratification vote is set for Monday. The drivers, represented by the United Steelworkers of America, went on strike over their demand for a pension plan. School Supt. Laval S. Wilson said a panel of drivers and School Committee members would study pension plans and the drivers would select one to fund by themselves or through two private firms that provide bus service.
