It’s back to the bargaining table for Coast Mountain bus drivers.
It was only by a small percentage members approved a one year contract extension that expired the end of March.
Drivers are looking for a wage bump but more importantly according to union President Don MacLeod it’s working conditions that are front and centre at the bargaining table, “You’re constantly under pressure because of schedules and especially passenger loads that you can’t always accommodate. It just makes it very difficult for members to do their job without the proper time and support.”
Seven days have been set aside this month to try and hammer out a new deal.
