Metro Vancouver HandyDART Workers Ratify New Agreement with TransDev

The new contract includes wage increases and addresses the use of taxis through revised scheduling and reporting.

The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1724 voted on Monday to ratify the new deal.
About 600 HandyDART employees had initiated strike action in early September, limiting services to essential medical trips.
ATU Local 1724 President Joe McCann highlighted that the strike demonstrated the union's strength.
The new contract provides increased wages for HandyDART workers.
Creative language in the contract aims to reduce the reliance on taxis by adjusting shift scheduling and reporting.
