The union for employees of #BritishColumbia's #HandyDART #transit service says it's suspending all job action pending a vote on a final contract offer from employer #TransdevCanada.

There had been the possibility of strike action on the door-to-door service on Monday if a deal wasn't struck.

Joe McCann, president of #Local1724 of the #AmalgamatedTransitUnion, says the vote will happen soon after information meetings being held Sunday and Monday for members.

TransLink, Metro #Vancouver's regional transit provider, warned that the service could be disrupted next week as the deadline for contract negotiations was set to expire Sunday evening.

#TransLink said that even if the strike went ahead, service would continue for those needing rides to medical treatments for cancer and other illnesses.
