Government licensed professionals who work for the BC Public Service could be going on strike., said in a statement that a 72-hour strike notice would be issued at noon Wednesday. The union represents roughly 1,200 licensed professionals that include agrologists, engineers, foresters, geoscientists, pharmacists, psychologists, and veterinarians who work for the BC Public Service.“These licensed professionals rebuild bridges and roads, monitor B.C.
The union says rising inflation and higher wages in the private sector have made it increasingly challenging to keep professionals in the BC Public Service. “It’s time for the B.C. government to invest in the workers who provide the services that the province relies on,” said Moroz. “These licensed professionals are taking job action because they want to see the cost of living addressed at the bargaining table.”
have you reached out to any of the victoria or island-based MLAs for comments on the strike? the media across the board doesn't seem to be doing this and i'm wondering why that is.
Sounds like the government is not doing so well.
