As its strike rolled into the second week, the British Columbia General Employees’ Union escalated its job action Monday with a non-emergency ban on overtime for public sector workers. The two sides appear far apart, with the government saying recent exploratory talks went nowhere.
A union representing B.C. government workers – including veterinarians, engineers and pharmacists – has issued a strike notice. The Professional Employees Association (PEA) is the union that represents the Government Licensed Professionals (GLP) group, which has 1,200 members who work in B.C. public services.
One of B.C. s biggest unions, representing tens of thousands of government employees, has issued notice that job action could come as early as Monday, with impacts predicted for a host of public services.
