The B.C. General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) has announced a tentative deal has been struck with the provincial government, which could bring an end to a weeks-long strike that has impacted everything from liquor distribution to wildfire fighting.
More than 25,000 workers represented by the public service union have been on some form of job action since Sept. 2.
The tentative agreement, announced in a Sunday statement, comes after mediated talks with the province.
According to the union, the tentative deal still needs to be ratified, and includes a three per cent general wage increase per year for the next four years.
More to come.
