Chris Hollis addressed collective concerns of Richmond Public Schools (RPS) Unions, REA, LiUNA, and Teamsters Local 322, at a press conference on Tuesday, May 6 outside of the 9 street entrance of Richmond City Hall, to call out anti-union behavior by the RPS administration after five veteran bus drivers were abruptly fired on April 8 from RPS after advocating for fair compensation at a School Board meeting. The group held up their hands with 5 fingers out to represent the “RPS 5” and then closed them into fists to represent solidarity for the drivers.
