Retroactive pay update for community health

Mask usage in BCGEU buildings (Updated Apr 27, 2023) :

Effective immediately, we are making a change to our building protocols regarding mask usage in our buildings.

Mask use is now optional in our buildings, including in common areas and meeting rooms.
Staff and visitors to BCGEU buildings may, of course, continue to use masks and other layers of protection based on their own comfort and risk factors. We ask that we respect others and wear masks if requested in groups.

Please be reminded that no one should attend BCGEU buildings if they have active cold or flu-like symptoms.

Retroactive pay update for community health - BC General Employees' Union (BCGEU)

Published on August 14, 2023

The BCGEU is aware that members working in community health at the Fraser Health Authority and most affiliates (including Lookout Housing and Health Society and Raincity Housing and Support Society) have yet to receive their retroactive pay from the last round of bargaining. We know that waiting longer than expected for your pay is frustrating and demoralizing, especially since all other health authorities have now issued retroactive pay.

The Community Health Bargaining Association has filed a grievance to assist in expediting this payment. The grievance also includes a demand for interest to be paid on the retroactive wages owed to you.

I want to assure you that our union is pursuing every legal remedy to bring a speedy resolution to this issue.

In solidarity,

Scott De Long
Vice President, Community Health
