The number of public service workers taking job action in BC has now surpassed 26,000 after workers represented by the Professional Employees Association (PEA) escalated their strike to include all Government Licensed Professionals they represent. PEA represents 1,600 workers on strike. They are joined on the picket lines by more than 25,000 striking public workers represented by the British Columbia General Employees Union (BCGEU). Talks between the government and the BCGEU began in January and bargaining with PEA began in May. Since then, both unions have decried what they call insufficient wage offers.

British Columbia Public Service Workers Escalate Their Job Action

BC public services workers expanded their picket lines to include 90 workers at the British Columbia Ministry of Finance in Vancouver on Thursday. The move came after the British Columbia General Employees’ Union (BCGEU), representing the more than 2,600 striking workers, said the provincial government has shown “no indication” of willingness to return to the bargaining table. Job action began on Tuesday, with picket lines going up in Prince George, Surrey and at sites across Victoria. Members of BCGEU held a strike vote from August 11 to 29. More than 92 per cent of voters had called for a strike. “Public service workers fight fires, staff emergency lines, and care for our most vulnerable. But these workers are facing an affordability crisis,” said BCGEU President Paul Finch.
