School bus drivers are averting a strike after a tentative deal has been reached.
On Tuesday, First Student Incorporated and the Teamsters reached a tentative contract agreement.
This deal covers over 17-thousand workers across the country.
Teamsters leaders said workers had overwhelmingly authorized a strike in recent days.
The union credited this authorization with securing the deal.\
