Vancouver Bus Rider Union Brings Back Night Bus Service The Dominion: Canada's Grassroots National Newspaper
The BRU has about 280 members, and members ride the buses (with support of the drivers, Efting says) and talk to riders about the goals of the union, find out how the commuters would like to have themselves represented, and of course, try to sign people up. Efting sees it as taking the tradition of trade unionism and taking it into the community to people who are likely not aware that they may be able to have an influence on the very system that they use every day. Or in the case of the recent Night Owl victory, every night.------------------------------------------- posted 8:03 AM :: reference link ::
