PSAC’s bargaining teams have made some progress at the table over the weekend, but it is clear the government is not prepared to negotiate in a meaningful way.
Thousands of PSAC members in British Columbia have been on strike since April 19, fighting for fair wages, good working conditions and inclusive workplaces.
