Buses will not run Monday in Metro Vancouver after more than 180 workers represented by CUPE Local 4500 walked off the job.
The job action, which began at 3 a.m. PT, comes three weeks after the workers began refusing overtime. The union represents transit supervisors, communications supervisors and a range of other roles.
Talks between the union and the Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC), the workers’ employer, conducted with the assistance of veteran labour mediator Vince Ready, failed to produce a new collective agreement over the weekend.
CMBC is a subsidiary of TransLink, the regional transit authority for Metro Vancouver.
