On Wednesday morning, Unifor, the union representing nearly 5,000 Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC) employees announced that a “complete system shutdown” would be coming to Metro Vancouver’s transit system next week.

The shutdown would take place next week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. During that time, no members of Unifor Local 111 or 2200 would report for work and rather, would begin picketing.
