Fair wages, excessive workloads among main issues behind job action, says union president
Metro Vancouver transit workers represented by CUPE Local 4500 have begun job action on Saturday.
More than 180 transit supervisors overseeing everything from engineering to maintenance within the Metro Vancouver transit system have started refusing overtime as of 8 a.m. Saturday.
The union says the job action, which followed a 72-hour strike notice on Wednesday, comes as a last resort as talks with their employer, the Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC), broke down. The last collective agreement expired in October 2022.

Good. Bus drivers are overworked, underpaid, and lack some basic standards that we all take for granted, like separate places to prepare food and take a shit.
