CUPE 7000 members working for SkyTrain have voted overwhelmingly in favour of job action if a fair and equitable agreement cannot be reached with the BC Rapid Transit Company (BCRTC).

In likely the highest turnout ever for a strike vote by Local 7000 (87.3 per cent), members voted 96.8 per cent in favour of job action.

“This vote demonstrates that our members are deeply concerned that the Company has not addressed our key issues at the table,” said CUPE 7000 President Tony Rebelo.
