Tentative deal reached in Metro Vancouver transit labour dispute
Metro Vancouver transit contract deal eases months of stalled bargaining See what the tentative agreement could mean for bus drivers and SeaBus workers
Coast Mountain Bus Company says it has reached a tentative contract agreement with Metro Vancouver transit operators after months of bargaining.
The agreement was reached with Unifor Locals 111 and 2200, which represent bus drivers, SeaBus workers and other employees. A mediator helped bring both sides together, but the company has not released the details of the deal.
The agreement is not final yet and still needs ratification. Negotiations began in February and had stalled for months, with workers taking job action before both sides returned to the table on Saturday.
