There is no end in sight to the job action of bus operations supervisors for Metro Vancouver’s public transit system.
Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC) says the union representing 180 bus operations supervisors is asking for a 25% wage increase for their members over three years.
During a press conference this morning, CMBC spokesperson Mike Killeen said the union’s expectations for the wage increase are “not realistic,” and that this is the “sticking point” in the negotiations.
Welp, then I guess it won’t be only the cold temps and ice that’ll be stopping the buses… it will be CMBC’s cold feet.
Later this week is going to be fun if the supervisors don’t work overtime in response to weather events. Get them a fair deal now.
