After the recent CUPE 4500 job action, Unifor National filed a grievance on behalf of all Local 111 and 2200 members attempting to recover lost wages for the two days job action by CUPE 4500. We have consulted with both the National Legal Department and a Vancouver based law firm on this grievance and have resolved the grievance with the Employer.
We are writing to update you on our union’s response to the transit crisis created by Coast Mountain Bus Company’s inept bargaining with the supervisors’ union, CUPE 4500.
We are aware of the collective bargaining dispute currently ongoing between Coast Mountain Bus Company and CUPE local 4500 related to transit supervisors.
As you are all aware workers represented by CUPE Local 4500 have been in bargaining with C.M.B.C. for several months. Unfortunately, the parties have reached an impasse that resulted in the union issuing a 72 hour strike notice that will take effect on Saturday January 6.
Unifor Local 111 & 2200 Bargaining Committees have been finalizing proposals in preparation for the renewal of the Collective Agreement, which will expire on March 31, 2023.
On December 1 and 2, 2022, the arbitration regarding the dispute over LOU #41B – Skilled Trades Wage Increase and Wage Adjustment – took place between Unifor 2200 and Coast Mountain Bus Company.
Please be advised that at the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Transit Employees’ Health & Benefit Trust, held on May 19, 2022, the Trustees determined to maintain the current contribution rate for the members of the Unifor/CMBC LTD Plan, as per above, effective since June 18, 2021.
