The B.C. General Employees’ Union says it is expecting to return to the bargaining table ‘soon’ as part of its negotiations with the Public Service Agency
British Columbia’s largest public-sector union says it has accepted the government’s invitation to resume talks following limited job action that began over a week ago.
The union says the resumption of contract talks, which went off the rails last spring, is the result of pressure from employees who set up pickets around liquor distribution centres last week before imposing an overtime ban this week. The Public Service Agency says no negative impacts of the overtime ban have been reported so far, but essential-service requirements are in place for positions involving children and families as well as mental health and corrections.
