Nation IN BRIEF : NATIONWIDE : Police in Florida, Ohio to Watch Buses

Spurred by sniper attacks on Greyhound buses across the nation, officials in Florida and Ohio said they will use state police to keep watch on the vehicles during the strike by Greyhound’s drivers. Greyhound, which was struck by 9,000 employees over a contract dispute two weeks ago, is operating on a reduced schedule using replacement drivers and union members willing to cross picket lines. The company said it will equip its Florida buses with citizens-band radios to allow drivers to call for help. There have been more than half a dozen instances of sniper attacks during the strike.
