The Coast Mountain Bus Company is following the lead of the BC Government and telling it’s drivers the mandate for this round of bargaining is ‘net zero.’
The Canadian Autoworkers Union Local 1-11, which represents the bus drivers, says this translates to zero increases in any year of the collective agreement.
The union says this basically destroys any ability to bargain fairly and adds insult to injury with recent layoffs and job cuts.
Bargaining’s been going on since September and the union says in a release to drivers, progress is slow.
The update includes a veiled suggestion of job action urging drivers to support their bargaining committee in their request for any actions that may be required.
