In the past five minutes or so, Unifor National President, Jerry Dias, has been speaking to reporters on his way to the bargaining table with the Coast Mountain Bus Company.

Dias telling reporters that the objective today is to find a tentative agreement to avoid tomorrow’s shutdown - but if it doesn’t happen, then the strike starts at midnight.
