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.
Just because other unions accepted it doesn’t mean it’s a fair offer. If it doesn’t match cost of living increases then it’s not a realistic increase because it’s not an increase.
