600 HandyDART workers in Metro Vancouver strike for 18 days, reach tentative agreement for wage increase and staffing improvements.

The Amalgamated Transit Union has reached a tentative agreement with Transdev for HandyDART workers in Metro Vancouver after an 18-day strike. About 600 employees halted nearly all services, except essential medical trips, since early September. The new contract includes significant wage increases and aims to resolve staffing shortages and high turnover linked to inadequate pay compared to other regional transit jobs. A ratification vote will occur soon.
