Picket line going up around BC Place Monday morning

Unionized workers at BC Place will be going on strike Monday morning.

BC Government and Service Employees Union Spokesperson Karen Tankard says the workers have been without a contract since May, and are taking action after talks didn’t go anywhere last week.

“The main sticking point is job security. There is work that goes on in BC Place that is being contracted out to private contractors that our members believe they should be doing. They’re worried about their jobs going forward.”

No events at the stadium are expected to be affected by the strike.
