Resumption Of Bargaining In Bus Lockout

It looks like there will be a resumption of negotiations to end the Acadian Coach Lines lockout which began back on December 2nd. 

The company and Local 1229 of the Amalgamated Transit Union are expected to be back bargaining on April 29th. 

Union President Glen Carr is pleased there could be light at the end of the tunnel but adds he would have preferred to see the negotiations start earlier.

The lockout has shut down inter-city bus service in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
