Unifor statement on Coast Mountain Bus Company negotiations

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 18, 2026 /CNW/ — Members of Unifor Locals 111 and 2200 will vote Monday, September 21 on a tentative agreement with Coast Mountain Bus Company.

If the agreement is not ratified, full job action begins at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, September 23, with a complete withdrawal of bus and SeaBus service across Metro Vancouver.

Bargaining opened in early February 2026. Members of both locals voted 99.35 per cent in favour of strike action in May, and the union has since taken a series of job actions while continuing to seek a negotiated settlement.

Results will be released after voting closes on Monday.

Unifor Local 111 represents transit operators and Local 2200 represents skilled trades, service and SeaBus workers at Coast Mountain Bus Company, which operates bus and SeaBus service across Metro Vancouver.
