BC Ferries says it’s aware of waits of up to eight hours, while the union representing ferry workers says some have had to wait more than 12 hours.BC Ferry and Marine Workers Union president Graeme Johnston told Global News that’s translated into abuse for staff.“In one instance we had somebody who was so distraught they lay down in front of moving traffic while screaming at employees to put her on.
