Lawyers who work for the B.C. government writing legislation, providing legal advice and representing government in civil litigation want the right to join a union of their choice.
The Professional Employees Association represents nearly 1,300 people working as foresters, engineers, agrologists, geoscientists, psychologists and others in the B.C. government. Margo Foster, secretary of the BCGLA, said that the provincial government’s Bill 10 — which her members helped write — permitted workers to choose which union they belonged to.
“We are a diverse and predominantly female group of employees, yet we are paid less and have less job security than our Crown counsel peers,” Foster said.
Unionized or not, they no longer have the right to medical privacy or bodily autonomy. Collective bargaining is hardly an advantage given the authoritarian stance of their current employer.
I think the Gov better hire an external lawyer to fight their case on this one. 😀
If lawyers can’t unionize who can?!?
