The BC General Employees’ Union, representing around 15,000 public sector workers currently in job action, is gearing up to unveil a significant development on Friday.
CityNews has exclusively learned that both the provincial government and the union are poised to return to the negotiation table.
Reports suggest that talks may recommence as early as Monday.
Further information will be disclosed during a BCGEU media briefing scheduled for 10 a.m.
Over the past week, employees from 64 BC Liquor Stores have stood in solidarity on the picket lines.
The union is advocating for an 8.25% wage increase over the next two years, while the government’s latest proposal includes a 3.5% raise over the same period.
Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding story.
