The union, which represents roughly 670 Metro Vancouver workers, set up picket lines at four facilities after ongoing wage negotiations broke down Friday.
Roughly 670 Metro Vancouver wastewater plant workers have gone on strike after ongoing wage negotiations broke down over the weekend.
The union set up picket lines at the Jervis pump station and at Surrey City Hall Saturday, where the Metro Vancouver’s Council of Councils was scheduled to meet. Dozens of members turned up at the pickets lines, alongside Rob Ashton, president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada.
The union members are responsible for a number of “critical roles” at Metro Vancouver's wastewater facilities. They include tradesmen, technologists, and power engineers, who together operate and maintain water treatment, distribution and disinfection facilities. They also handle watershed management and security, and hold roles in affordable housing, regional parks, infrastructure construction projects, and air quality monitoring.
