VANCOUVER – Over 4,700 transit operators, mechanics, maintenance and SeaBus workers in Metro Vancouver have voted 82% tonight to ratify a new 3-year contract with Coast Mountain Bus Company with wage and shift premium increases and better working conditions and benefits for members.

Unifor’s Auto Council made a momentous decision recently about the all-important contract talks to get underway this summer.
In two unanimous votes, the 120 delegates passed resolutions calling for each company to commit to bringing new products to Canada, and to specific investment mandates for Canada for assembly and powertrain operations.
That means there will be no deals with GM, Ford or Fiat-Chrysler without specific commitments from each that we will have new products made right here in Canada.
