A second tentative contract deal has been reached between the Coast Mountain Bus Company and transit operators across Metro Vancouver.

The union and the company both confirmed reaching the agreement, which comes about a month after the last proposed deal was reached on June 22.

Union members voted to reject the first deal. In a statement June 30, Unifor Locals 111 and 2200 said members were “not rushing to job action” after the rejection, saying the unions would work on the changes their members want to see in the tentative agreement.

Since that time, the parties have been in talks with the help of mediator Trevor Sones.

The Coast Mountain Bus Company operates more than 96 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s bus services.
