The union representing SkyTrain employees in Metro Vancouver says it’s prepared to shut down all services Monday in solidarity with bus supervisors as a deadline to resolve a dispute with Coast Mountain Bus Company looms.
CUPE Local 7000—which represents rapid transit and rail workers—says the bus supervisors’ union has filed a Labour Board complaint about efforts by transit providers to limit the impact any strike would have on commuters.
The SkyTrain union says in a statement to members that if the complaint is upheld, picket lines would spread to SkyTrain sites and this would halt the rail service.
