The union representing approximately 180 workers on SkyTrain Canada Line issued a 72-hour strike notice to the employer late Friday afternoon.

BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) states this decision warning of labour action was made after four days of mediation last week, and several months of negotiations in which no major progress was made on wage parity with CUPE 7000 workers on the SkyTrain Expo and Millennium lines, operated by TransLink subsidiary BC Rapid Transit Company (BCRTC).
