BCGEU stakes clear position in public service talks
As we finish our first two days of public service bargaining, it is clear that we face a challenging round of negotiations.
We have been very clear with government negotiators that the BCGEU is not prepared to recommend an agreement without an extension of our current employment security protections.
I want all BCGEU public service members to know that while your bargaining committee is prepared to work creatively to reach a negotiated settlement, we know that this will only happen if there are real improvements for you. We won't settle for nothing.
Based on your input, priority areas for the union at the bargaining table include employment security, benefit improvements and compensation. Talks will resume January 26 through 28.

A flat zero is a flat zero. Whatever we gained in one area was taken from another area.

Before talking about how there is "nothing" in the tentative agreement, and saying that bargaining is a "joke", take a look at the comments from bargaining committee members, and read the ratification report:

Your bargaining is a joke. Setting a template for other public sector workers will be the the result of your lack of resolve at the table.

Wow, the Community Health just settled for nothing and now the public service is taking a stance "we won't settle for nothing" What happened to the solidarity bargaining?

Length of new contract
With the prospect of possibly no increase in wages, I would not be in favour of a contract that lasts more than two years.
