BCGEU President & Chair of the Public Service Bargaining Committee Paul Finch @paulgfinch spoke with @GlobalBC's @richardzussman about today’s kickoff to public service bargaining in Victoria. The bargaining committee is committed to reaching a deal that addresses the affordability crisis and meets the needs of its members. #bcpoli #yyjpoli #yyj #bclab #bcunion

Solidarity Sunday Rally!   Join us this Sunday, November 10, at 12:00 pm for a solidarity rally at the Balfour Ferry Terminal (northeast of Nelson). Inland Ferries workers, community members, and allies are coming together to show our support for a fair and sustainable contract.     BCGEU members that work at Western Pacific Marine have been fighting for a fair deal and on the picket line since November 3rd.  Let’s stand with our friends, neighbours and fellow members at the Inland Ferries—your presence makes a difference!

Today we celebrate the defence of our public health care system! Access to necessary medical care should be based on need, not on ability to pay. The BCGEU is a proud member of the @BCHC who played a key role in this case & we thank everyone who worked tirelessly for this victory
1/4 The @SCC_eng dismissed Cambie’s case. This decision upholds the BC Supreme Court and BC Court of Appeal judgements which found that the evidence before the court showed that a duplicative private-pay health care system would increase wait times in the public system #cdnpoli

Solid group of @bcgeu members on graveyard picket shift this morning. No one wants a government imposed real wage cut, or a signing bonus that means future wages fall further behind. #FightForCOLA #bcpoli

Workers are struggling with soaring inflation and over 960 BCGEU members are striking to get COLA (cost of living adjustment). Learn more about why we’re striking, what we’re demanding, and how you can help. A win for workers is a win for everyone 🧵

“It’s time for the B.C. government to invest in the workers who provide the services that the province relies on,” said Moroz. “These licensed professionals are taking job action because they want to see the cost of living addressed at the bargaining table.”
