Solidarity Sunday Rally!
Join us this Sunday, November 10, at 12:00 pm for a solidarity rally at the Balfour Ferry Terminal (northeast of Nelson). Inland Ferries workers, community members, and allies are coming together to show our support for a fair and sustainable contract.
BCGEU members that work at Western Pacific Marine have been fighting for a fair deal and on the picket line since November 3rd. Let’s stand with our friends, neighbours and fellow members at the Inland Ferries—your presence makes a difference!
Today we celebrate the defence of our public health care system! Access to necessary medical care should be based on need, not on ability to pay. The BCGEU is a proud member of the @BCHC who played a key role in this case & we thank everyone who worked tirelessly for this victory
We want to thank every single one of you for supporting our members during this strike. Whether you brought food to the picket line, shared one of our posts, or emailed your MLA-- the overwhelming show of support has been INSPIRING! Our pressure is working but we cannot let up!🧵
Solid group of @bcgeu members on graveyard picket shift this morning.
No one wants a government imposed real wage cut, or a signing bonus that means future wages fall further behind.
#FightForCOLA#bcpoli
Good morning to everyone except those responsible for forcing @bcgeu members to strike to avoid a wage cut amidst a record affordability crisis.
We see you.

Our executive director Brynn Bourke visited @bcgeu workers on the picket line in Richmond today. BCGEU strikers have our full support in their quest for cost of living wage increases! #FightforCOLA#StandWithPublicSectorWorkers
Workers are struggling with soaring inflation and over 960 BCGEU members are striking to get COLA (cost of living adjustment). Learn more about why we’re striking, what we’re demanding, and how you can help. A win for workers is a win for everyone 🧵
“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.”
