VANCOUVER — The president of the union local for B.C. HandyDART workers says a withdrawal of the transit service in Metro Vancouver is"imminent" as it prepares to serve a 72-hour strike notice.
McCann says there's still hope for the union and the employer to reach a deal at the bargaining table, but 83 per cent of members voted down the offer after meetings over the weekend and on Monday. He says escalating job action wasn't effectively pressuring Transdev Canada, and a full work stoppage would still mean that HandyDART users in need of certain medical treatments would be able to book rides with the door-to-door service.
