All British Columbians should be outraged. While #BCGEU members are striking just to get a living wage, here's the fat cats doing their thing manipulating and lining their pockets. So liquor-reliant businesses, why not ask some questions? #cdnpoli #bcpoli www.biv.com/news/comment...

"How is the BC NDP able to find millions of dollars to hand out to fossil fuel projects and host lavish dinners while we are in a more than 9 billion dollar deficit, and there are striking public sector workers and climate supporters banging on their door?” said Sven Biggs, Oil and Gas Campaign Director for Stand.earth. “We are crying out for a renewed commitment to critically important climate policy and an end to handouts to dinosaur industries like fracking and LNG.”

Get back to the table BC. The #BCGEU said they're prepared to negotiate, so let's go. Cheque issue week is coming for income assistance and disability people in the province, and that ministry is part of this strike with numbers greatly reduced. Let's go. #BCPoli cheknews.ca/thanks-for-y...

@bcgeu.bsky.social Seriously Brenda? You accepted a 33.3% raise in November + offered front line workers .5% DURING PUBLIC SERVICE WEEK. Get back to the bargaining table. Your gentle voice never mentions the $60,000 raise you plucked from taxpayers. #BCPoli #NDP #BCGEU www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

If the government was smart and contracted out or privatized the liquor warehousing, they'd keep their revenue stream and the vast majority of British Columbians wouldn't notice there was a strike, including bars and restaurants.
