VANCOUVER — A union representing hundreds of Metro Vancouver employees says it has issued a 72-hour strike notice in their dispute with the regional district.
The Greater Vancouver Regional District Employees Union says in a statement that the notice was filed with the BC Labour Relations Board for possible strike action as early as Sunday at 3:36 p.m.
The union membership voted almost 98 per cent in favour of authorizing job action in March.
The union says Metro Vancouver has not addressed issues such as safety, contracting out and recruitment measures.
