DUNCAN, B.C.—Transdev transit workers have voted down tentative offers that failed to close the wage gap with B.C. transit counterparts in Victoria and Vancouver. In the same vote, held August 7, they also opposed binding arbitration. This follows last month’s rejection of the provincial mediator’s recommendations.
The strike, which began February 8, centres on securing fair wages in line with other transit workers across the province.
The union remains ready to return to negotiations and continues to call for reform of B.C.’s broken provincial transit structure, which creates systemic inequities across the system.
