Metro Vancouver Bus Drivers Union Moves Towards Potential Strike
Description
Unifor, the union representing Metro Vancouvers bus drivers and transit workers, is edging towards a potential strike due to stalled contract talks with Coast Mountain Bus Company. The union accuses the company of pushing for concessions that could compromise worker safety, dignity, and union rights, affecting over five thousand workers. The union, which includes operators, skilled trades, and SeaBus staff, argues that the companys proposals could weaken health and safety protections and allow supervisors to take over bargaining unit jobs. Despite the unions commitment to avoiding a strike, they are preparing for a potential walkout, which could disrupt bus and SeaBus services in the transit-reliant region.
