Public Service Alliance of Canada BC

Earlier this week Union of Solicitor General Employees (USGE) members held a workplace demonstration / plantgate at Kent and Mountain Institutions in Agassiz. They distributed leaflets and spoke with people as they arrived for work. Here is one of the leaflets (pdf).

The constant pressure to work harder and longer along with the stress from working outside of their job descriptions has forced USGE members to take action in an effort to bring recognition to their plight. USGE has repeatedly warned management that their bullying tactics in conjunction with their unwillingness to hire appropriate numbers of staff would lead to an unhealthy work environment.

These members, who work for the Correctional Service of Canada, maintain its time to stand up to management and say “No More” to reduced staff levels, management bullying, unwanted pressures and demands from management, unreasonable requests for overtime and to working outside of our job descriptions without proper compensation. USGE believes that the time is right to send management a message and that by collectively committing to working within their collective agreement they can and will make a difference.
