BCNU is disheartened to hear that the Alberta government has invoked the notwithstanding clause, bypassing Alberta teachers' rights to a fair and respectful collective bargaining process.

Congratulations @bcgeu for reaching a tentative agreement. The unwavering leadership of BCGEU's bargaining team and union leaders, and the solidarity of every member on the picket lines, have shown workers across the province what can be achieved when we unite together.

@BCNursesUnion is in solidarity with @bcgeu members as they enter mediation after weeks of job action. Holding the line for fair wages and respect is never easy, but it’s how real change is won. Your fight is our fight - your collective strength is felt across the labour movement, and we’re with you until a fair deal is won.

BC nurses have always known it – ratios save lives. New research provides evidence that BC’s minimum nurse-to-patient ratios have potential to improve patient care and keep nurses in the profession. Learn more: bcnu.org/news-and-events/new…
