Bcgeu Collective Agreement Wage Increases

„It is important that the union has time to communicate the details of the agreement with its members as part of the ratification process,“ he said. CBC News has learned of the preliminary agreement, which includes 21,800 employees and provides for annual wage increases of two per cent each over the next three years. „You`d like to look at the fine print, but the union is defending the status quo, so there might be something other than the pay rate.“ The proposed new contract between the B.C government and B.C. the government and the services union (BCGEU) will keep wage increases around the rate of inflation. The agreement was eagerly awaited, as the number of public service unions whose collective agreements expired in 2019 was highly anticipated. „It`s an asset to the NDP,“ said Mark Thompson, professor emeritus at UBC`s Sauder School of Business, who said the agreement would likely be the benchmark for government negotiations with other unions. The Department of Finance confirmed the salary increases to cBC News, but would not comment on the details of the agreement.

„The complaint is that they`re going to give the store to the public sector unions, and 2% are certainly not going to give the store away, no matter what anyone says… that sets the tone. The agreement has yet to be ratified by the BCGEU and the province has said it will not publish the details until then.
