Ferry union offers to resume service CBC News
VICTORIA - The president of the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers Union says ferry service could resume Thursday if the government rescinded its cooling-off period, and agreed to the essential service levels set by the Labour Relations Board.
Jackie Miller also says the union has contacted mediator Vince Ready and told him that the union is ready to resume negotiations – without any pre-conditions.
Miller said the union shut down all ferry service because the government acted too quickly in imposing a cooling-off period.
