Update on rotating strikes at LifeLabs

The B-C Government and Service Employees Union has announced the next round of rotating strikes in its contract dispute with LifeLabs.

Labs in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, and Victoria will be behind picket lines Saturday through next Monday.

The union says the company is offering a wage hike 3.9 per-cent over three years, but says that’s well below what B-C Biomedical Labs pays, and with concession demands it works out to almost zero.

Last week LifeLabs announced it wants to buy B-C Biomedical Labs.

Location and Duration:
5786 Victoria Drive, Vancouver 2 days
3965 Kingsway, Burnaby 2 days
536 Clarke Road, Coquitlam 2 days
6180 Blundell Road, Richmond 2 days
7130 120th St, Surrey 2 days
582 Goldstream, Victoria 2 days
