The union representing transit workers in several communities along British Columbia’s Sea-to-Sky corridor says contract negotiations are set to resume, more than three weeks after a strike began.
Members of Unifor Local 114 went on strike late last month, forcing the suspension of BC Transit services in Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton.
A news release from Unifor on Monday says bargaining with the provincial Crown corporation’s private contractors, Whistler Transit Ltd. and Diversified Transit, is expected to resume this week.
