A Richmond advocacy group would like to see free transit for kids 18 and younger.

Job action could still be further down the track, but for now union workers on the Canada Line are keeping things rolling with mediated talks on a new contract scheduled for Feb. 2 and 3.

The 150 workers on the SkyTrain line have been without a contract since December 2013. And according to the B.C. Government and Service and Employees’ Union, which represents them, minimal progress had been achieved over the last 12 months.

That prompted a strike vote earlier this month, with 99 per cent voting to take job action, if needed.
