What is a union driver?

Union Drivers are professional drivers who are members of a labor union that represents their interests in the workplace. These drivers may operate trucks, buses, or other vehicles, depending on their specific industry.

Union Drivers typically adhere to safety regulations and uphold standards set by both their employer and the union.
