Fraser Valley Bus Services to Face Disruption as 200+ Drivers Set to Strike on Monday

Over 200 drivers of Fraser Valley buses are set to go on strike on Monday.

Some other Fraser Valley bus workers will join the strike with the drivers. The buses serve Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Agassiz, Harrison and Hope.

As three days of talks yielded no progress on a new collective agreement, a spokesperson for CUPE 561 said.

The spokesperson added that services for HandyDart will remain on the road to provide essential services such as the transport of patients needing dialysis and cancer treatments.

CUPE said that the major issues are a wage gap between Fraser Valley bus drivers and other drivers, working conditions and pension.
