The union representing transit supervisors in British Columbia含羞草研究社檚 Lower Mainland says it will be 含羞草研究社渨ithdrawing all services含羞草研究社� on Monday if an agreement with Coast Mountain Bus Company isn含羞草研究社檛 made.

CUPE Local 4500, representing more than 180 bus workers, says it has been waiting more than four weeks for Coast Mountain to respond to its latest proposal.

The union says its patience has now 含羞草研究社渂een exhausted含羞草研究社� as it waits for the company to take bargaining seriously, and unless an agreement is reached all services, including the SeaBus, will be suspended by 3 a.m. on Jan. 22, for two days.

Coast Mountain president Michael McDaniel called the move 含羞草研究社渄isappointing,含羞草研究社� adding that it will disrupt thousands of people who depend on the bus and SeaBus each day.

He says the company is urging the union to end its job action and return to the bargaining table with 含羞草研究社渞ealistic expectations.含羞草研究社�

The move by the union comes after it began an overtime ban on Jan. 6.

McDaniel says Coast Mountain has made CUPE 4500 the same wage offer already agreed to by all other unions.

含羞草研究社淭he union has demanded 25-per-cent wage increases for transit supervisors over three years,含羞草研究社� his statement said. 含羞草研究社淪imply put, it is unreasonable for this group of supervisors to demand nearly double the increase that all other CMBC unions have accepted.含羞草研究社�
