    Fraser Valley bus strike might be coming to an end

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Jul, 2023 10:06 AM
    • Fraser Valley bus strike might be coming to an end

    A four-month strike that has shut down public transit in the Fraser Valley may be ending after the operator says it is ready to accept a settlement deal.

    U-S-based First Transit operates on a contract with B-C Transit and employs about 200 bus drivers and mechanics serving Abbotsford, Mission, Agassiz-Harrison, Chilliwack and Hope.

    The company says it is eager for the strike to end and for services to be restored in the Fraser Valley.

    The union representing the workers said earlier this week it is also prepared to accept the settlement agreement proposed by veteran mediator Vince Ready.
