The last contracts barely went over the inflation rate over the term and didn't even make up the difference of inflation that had been lost over the previous 20 YEARS.

ie. It didn't even touch the cost of living since the pandemic.

And now the BC Government thinks it's going to go back to lower-than-inflation raises with 0.5% and 1%?

Not gonna fly. More people than ever are living paycheque to paycheque.

B.C. offers public sector unions 3.5 per cent over 2 years

The opening offer by the government was rejected by the BCGEU and will likely change

Thought-provoking talk by Larry Savage @BUFA happening at #FPSE AGM today, on strategic approaches in collective bargaining -- noting with interest the observation that unions may functionally bridge values-action gaps with respect to stated institution values and goals.
