BCGEU members at LDB distribution centres provincewide begin job action Monday - BC General Employees' Union (BCGEU)


BCGEU members will set up picket lines at 3:30 Monday at four BC Liquor Distribution Branch wholesale and distribution centres.

The job sites involved are:

  • Delta Distribution Centre
  • Kamloops Distribution Centre
  • Richmond Distribution Centre
  • Victoria Wholesale Centre

Only the BC LDB distribution sites listed above will be picketed.

Who else is picketing:

  • workers at the Wholesale Customer Centre and the Customer Care Centre in Burnaby will join the picket lines above

All other members of the B.C. public service, including those working at BC Liquor Stores, should report for work as usual and will not be picketing.

If job action escalates to include your worksite, you will be notified in advance.

It is important that we all stand together, here are ways that members who aren't picketing can support the efforts of those who are:

  1. Supporting a picket line near you. Join the picket line during non-work hours. Even if you can't walk the line, talk to a picket captain on site about ways to show your solidarity.
  2. Wear your solidarity. Don't have a COLA button yet? Contact your area office to get one and show your support for one of our key demands.
