Union President Frustrated With Premier

The head of the union at Acadian Coach Lines, Glen Carr is calling out the Premier for not intervening to end the lockout which has shut down intercity bus travel in the province since early December.

Carr makes clear he doesn't want the provincial government to legislate the bus drivers, mechanics and customer service reps back to work. 

He would like to see a government official sit as a third party to get things moving quicker.

Negotiations will resume at the end of April. A CHSJ News poll found 93 per cent of the respondents believe the lockout has been allowed to drag on too long.
