Strike notice issued for Regional District employees

More public sector employees in the Prince George area could be striking soon.

As of noon today (Wednesday), CUPE 1699, representing employees of the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George has issued 72-hour strike notice.

The union will be in a legal strike position as of noon on Saturday.

According to the Union, the plan is to start rotating job action, meaning services will be impacted on a rotating basis, and not all at once.

They say this approach minimizes the effect on the community, but underscores the importance of negotiating a fair contract with the District.

In August, 94 per cent of members voted in favour of strike action.
