Special greetings and solidarity from the Public Service Bargaining Committee (PSBC) to recognize Administrative Professionals Day!
 
BCGEU's Component 12 is the largest grouping of administrative professionals in our union and represents about 13,000 of the nearly 35,000-member strong BC Public Service bargaining unit. The PSBC continues to work on non-monetary proposals at the table including many important issues to administrative professionals including telework and classifications.
 
Today at the table, we invited the employer to acknowledge the day and while the size and importance of work being critical to government operations was acknowledged, no advancement or commitment to priority proposals for Administrative Professionals were acknowledged in the context of bargaining.
 

All five BCGEU components which are part of the BC Public Service acknowledge the invaluable work of administrative professionals that keep every worksite running in every office, in every ministry within the public service as well as alternative service delivery sites.
 
The work at the Public Service bargaining table continues to address issues of equity, fairness and respect. Your bargaining committee is dedicated to achieving the best possible deal for all members and stands in solidarity with each other today on Administrative Professionals Day and every day. 
 
Component 12 celebrated this year by asking members to share a bit about the important work being done across the province, check out their video here: Administrative Professionals Day 2025
 
In solidarity,
 
Your Public Service Bargaining Committee
