90% issues clear message from union members

BC’s Health Science Association members have backed their bargaining committee by voting 90% in favour of a strike.

Union President Reid Johnson says the resounding vote will send a clear message to BC’s health employers that it’s time to negotiate a fair and reasonable agreement.
 
Johnson says the Government and Health Authorities have not responded to a wage demand, and they refuse to respond to repeated requests for costing on budget-saving measures.
 
The union, which  represents the majority of 17-thousand health science professionals in the public sector, have been without a contract since March.
