B.C. General Employees’ Union Strike Ends with Tentative Deal
The B.C. General Employees’ Union has reached a tentative deal with the provincial government, ending a nearly eight-week-old labour strike.
The union announced the agreement on Sunday morning, which includes a general wage increase of three per cent for four years, along with several other benefits for its 34,000 members.
"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.
Finch added that the deal shows that when workers stand together, they can make real progress, and the agreement is pending a final ratification vote.
The union's 34,000 members work in a variety of public service roles.
