Long Island’s school bus industry, already suffering from a driver shortage, will lose hundreds more drivers because of a Trump administration directive preventing immigrants with temporary residency from obtaining, or renewing, commercial driver’s licenses, officials said.

Ryan Stanton of the Long Island Federation of Labor emphasized the importance of growth and learning through new experiences.

"When experienced public employees leave in large numbers, you feel it immediately," said Kris Kalender, president of CSEA Local 830, the county's largest municipal labor union.
