There could be disruptions to Metro Vancouver’s bus services as early as the morning of Saturday, January 6.

The union representing 180 bus operations supervisors — employees of TransLink subsidiary Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC) — has provided a 72-hour strike notice, effective 8 am on Wednesday.

The notice was served by Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 4500 late Tuesday evening after what the union describes was a “long day of mediation with no progress.” Veteran mediator Vince Ready is assisting with reaching an agreement between both sides.
