BC Transit – Mask Policy
August 11, 2020
To: All MoveUP members at BC Transit Victoria
Your union would like to reiterate its sincere appreciation for all the hard work by all our members at BC Transit. The past several months have been very challenging for our members at BC Transit. However, with resilience and determination all our members have responded to provide an essential service to the people of Victoria.
MoveUP learned late last week about a new policy that BC Transit will introduce. They advised us that it will be mandatory to wear face coverings on transit effective Monday, August 24, 2020. We are grateful that BC Transit has heeded the advice of the Province and B.C’s Provincial Health Officer.
As an employee with BC Transit you are recommended to abide by this policy when riding the Transit system while working and commuting. In order to keep yourself and others around you safe. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask, please connect with a steward or union representative in order to seek an exemption from this policy.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your union representative.
In Solidarity,
Parm Sandhar, Union Representative
