Tempe bus drivers will return to work today after overwhelmingly accepting a labor agreement with their employer, but drivers continued to express deep animosity toward Veolia Transportation Services.
The Tempe contract passed Friday with 90 percent of the vote.

The end of a seven-day bus strike by Tempe drivers and today's restoration of bus service make the Valley Metro system whole again after Phoenix union drivers agreed to a separate settlement with Veolia on Thursday.
But the union made it clear that its battle with Veolia, a French company, is far from over.
