Over 34,000 members of the BC General Employees’ Union working for BC’s public service will be voting if they will strike.
This comes after negotiations with the provincial government’s Public Service Agency fell apart over issues including wages, fair access to telework, and a modernized contract.
The proposal was for a two-year deal to lift wages for members at the lower end of the pay scale, and targeted occupational adjustments and bonuses into base salaries for lasting improvements.
The union said they will be helping to ensure members are equipped with the information needed to make an informed vote on the strike action.
The vote is estimated to begin in mid-August.
