Metro Vancouver transit strike happens on Monday, SkyTrain might also stop running

Possible Bus Strike on Monday Morning if Last-Minute Deal with Transit Supervisors' Union Falls Through: Latest Update

TransLink's bus and SeaBus services are at risk of being canceled on Monday morning unless a last-minute agreement is reached between the union representing transit supervisors and the Coast Mountain Bus Company. The union has taken steps to escalate their job action, filing an application with the B.C. Labour Relations Board on Sunday to expand the strike. If approved, this action would effectively bring buses and the SeaBus to a halt, commencing at 3 a.m. on Monday and lasting for a duration of two days.


Late on Sunday night, TransLink made an announcement stating that in the event the union proceeds with the strike, all bus and SeaBus routes would be canceled starting at 1 a.m. on Monday. This preemptive measure aims to inform and prepare the public for potential disruptions in transit services. The looming strike is a result of ongoing negotiations and disputes between the union and the bus company, highlighting the challenges in reaching a consensus on matters such as wages, working conditions, or other relevant issues.


The impact of such a strike extends beyond inconvenience for commuters, as it disrupts the daily routines of many residents who rely on public transportation. The decision to seek approval for an extended job action underscores the seriousness of the disagreements between the union and the bus company, further emphasizing the need for a resolution to avoid significant disruptions in the region's transportation services. As the situation unfolds, stakeholders and the public await updates on the negotiations and potential developments that could avert the planned strike.

" U.S. Imposes Extensive Sanctions on Russia Following Navalny's Death "   The Biden administration has announced a sweeping set of over 500 new sanctions on Russia, responding to the recent death of dissident Alexei Navalny . The primary aim is to restrict the significant energy revenue that has been funding President Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine. These sanctions target Russian companies, individuals, and entities in other countries involved in supplying Russia's military and industrial sectors.   A crucial aspect of the sanctions involves tightening the existing Western " price cap " on Russian oil purchases, compelling buyers to acquire Russian oil at a discounted rate or face severe financial penalties.
