A union representing thousands of public service employees in B.C. says it's agreed to return to the bargaining table amid ongoing job action.
The B.C. General Employees' Union, or BCGEU, said Tuesday it was invited to resume talks with the Public Service Agency Monday night."This is a significant development, and it is the direct result of the pressure BCGEU members have applied, which includes the current job action and shows solidarity from BCGEU members and allies," a brief statement from the union said.
That job action includes an overtime ban, which was announced Monday. The restriction came into effect immediately and only members working for B.C. Wildfire Service are exempt during the current wildfire season. No more than three of any individual item may be purchased per customer, per day, at BC Liquor Stores. Beer purchases are exempt.
