Unionized ICBC workers have begun an overtime ban as part of job action aimed at spurring the auto insurer to give ground in contract talks.
The ban began July 6 and follows a Labour Relations Board ruling that found ICBC was bargaining in bad faith by refusing to discuss wages and benefits until a provincial review of the corporation concludes.
The two sides are expected to resume negotiations later this month.
COPE 378 issued 72-hour strike notice in June but union leaders indicated they would ramp up job action very slowly, in an effort to pressure the government without affecting drivers.
