Metro Vancouver bus drivers vote to accept new contract, says union
VANCOUVER - The union representing Metro Vancouver bus drivers and other transit workers announced Monday that members voted to accept a new contract with the Coast Mountain Bus Company. The agreement, which includes an initial payment of $205.00 plus GST for the first year, is set to automatically renew at a higher rate of $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks.
The deal addresses concerns over running time, recovery time, and electronic service sheets. If either party fails to adhere to the terms outlined in a letter of understanding, a mediator will step in. The Coast Mountain Bus Company has stated that the contract will be officially ratified upon approval by its board.
