Coast Mountain Bus Company and the union representing its transit supervisors have both accepted the recommendations of a mediator in an agreement that looks set to avert another Metro Vancouver bus strike.
A statement from the bus firm’s president, Michael McDaniel, said the next step was to sign a memorandum of agreement before the contract ratification process.
“As the Special Mediator noted, labour disruptions in the Lower Mainland’s public transportation system lead to significant public hardship and negative economic impacts,” McDaniel said Thursday.
