Coast Mountain president Michael McDaniel called the move 香蕉视频直播渄isappointing,香蕉视频直播 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 香蕉视频直播渞ealistic expectations.香蕉视频直播
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.
香蕉视频直播淭he union has demanded 25-per-cent wage increases for transit supervisors over three years,香蕉视频直播 his statement said. 香蕉视频直播淪imply put, it is unreasonable for this group of supervisors to demand nearly double the increase that all other CMBC unions have accepted.香蕉视频直播
