The head of the #union representing #BritishColumbia 's 34,000 #PublicSector workers says #BCgovernment request to get back to the bargaining table appears to have been a "cheap stunt" as it offered little change to end weeks of #StrikeAction.

Paul Finch, president of the B.C. General Employees' Union, said negotiators for the employer were three hours late and hardly increased their offer.

@PhoenixSerenity

The last contracts barely went over the inflation rate over the term and didn't even make up the difference of inflation that had been lost over the previous 20 YEARS.

ie. It didn't even touch the cost of living since the pandemic.

And now the BC Government thinks it's going to go back to lower-than-inflation raises with 0.5% and 1%?

Not gonna fly. More people than ever are living paycheque to paycheque.
