Transit routes in 麻豆精选 are going to be affected as 麻豆精选 transit workers (ATU Local 1722) are refusing to work overtime shifts under their job action.
The 麻豆精选 transit workers union issued their strike notice on Sept. 1. Now, as of Sept. 15, workers will be refusing to work overtime shifts. This will impact transit routes throughout 麻豆精选, West 麻豆精选, and Lake Country.
This action is not impacting the Route 90 UBCO/Vernon from the Vernon Regional Transit System, or the Route 70 Penticton/麻豆精选 from the South Okanagan-Similkameen Transit System. Customers can find alerts here (Vernon) and here (South Okanagan).
handyDART services for people with cancer treatments, specialist appointments, dialysis, multiple sclerosis and more will continue to be in operation despite job action.
Transit customers will be notified when routes are cancelled through the NextRide app or 麻豆精选鈥檚 BC Transit website.
The labour dispute is between the union employees in 麻豆精选 and BC Transit鈥檚 parent contractor, First Transit.
