B.C. General Employees’ Union Strike Ends with Tentative Deal
The B.C. General Employees’ Union announced a tentative agreement with the provincial government on Sunday morning, ending a nearly eight-week labour strike.
The agreement includes a general wage increase of three per cent for four years, as well as several other benefits for its 34,000 members who work in various public service roles, pending a final ratification vote.
"This tentative agreement is the result of the incredible strength and solidarity of BCGEU and [Professional Employees’ Union] members across the province," said BCGEU president Paul Finch in a statement. "For eight weeks, they held the line, standing up for themselves, their families, and the public services that make life in B.C. This deal shows that when workers stand together, we can make real progress."
