PROCTER, B.C. — A sense of panic is growing in tiny southeast British Columbia communities over fears of being cut off from their neighbours as a ferry service labour dispute on Kootenay Lake escalates, says a local businesswoman.
The West Kootenay communities of Harrop, Procter and Glade could see their cable ferry service reduced after a B.C. Labour Relations Board ruling that permits expansion of the strike has already limited sailings on the major Kootenay Lake routes.
B.C. General Employees' Union workers have been on strike since Nov. 3, seeking wage increases, scheduling adjustments and extended benefits for auxiliary workers from employer Western Pacific Marine. The Harrop ferry usually runs on a 24-hour on-demand schedule, while the Glade ferry's regular schedule is 5 a.m. to 2:20 a.m.
About 600 people live in the Harrop-Procter area and about 300 people live in Glade, the labour board ruling said.
