PSAC members support their teams on June 19th
Published by Patrick June 19th, 2008 in Bargaining, Lower Mainland, South Vancouver Island Tags: Bargaining.On June 19th PSAC members throughout BC marked one year of bargaining with Treasury Board by joining together and telling the employer that we deserve to be treated with respect and that we deserve more at the bargaining table.
In downtown Vancouver, 250 people braved the rain and gathered at Canada Place to hear REVP Kay Sinclair and member negotiators Karim Lawji and Megan Adam speak. PSAC and PIPSC members working for Treasury Board, CFIA, CRA, Canada Post and Parks Canada gathered to hear bargaining updates, sign thinkpublic! postcards to their MPs, and enjoy lunch.
At the Pacific Forestry Centre in Victoria, UEW members were joined by their PIPSC and summer student co-workers for a hamburger BBQ. In Nelson, Area Strike Coordinator Sheila Pearce and members at the Service Canada office dressed in ratty clothes to demonstrate how poorly they are paid!
Other lunch time activities took place across BC and we will have a full report soon. In the meantime, here are some photos.
