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.
It’s kind of weird how the cost of fuel could double tomorrow and they’d likely have no issues paying for it, but the cost of labour increasing is always contentious.
