BC Transit says it is hoping for a resolution soon as a strike enters a third day between unionized transit workers and transit contractors in Whistler, Pemberton and Squamish.
Bus service has been suspended there since Saturday as Unifor Local 114 seeks better wages, benefits and working conditions for drivers.
The union says its members can barely afford to live in parts of the Sea-to-Sky corridor such as Whistler, where accommodation and affordability are especially challenging.
The union says the job action is continuing because the two contractors, Diversified Transit in Squamish and Whistler Transit in Whistler and Pemberton, have not made any new offers to the more than 80 workers.
