🚨 New picket line up: 900 Howe Street, Vancouver.

Over 2700 public service workers are on strike across B.C. — in Vancouver, Prince George, Surrey, and Victoria. These workers are essential to keeping B.C.’s economy moving, but government’s low wage offer leaves them falling behind.

A powerful bat light projection lit up the outside of Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Thursday night, casting the message “Fair Contact Now” across the venue during the Cyndi Lauper concert. This visual raised awareness of the ongoing fight by Abbotsford-based technicians for a fair contract from Rogers.

“The bat light shines a spotlight on the disrespect our members feel and the unfair offers they’ve received,” said Michael Phillips, USW Local 1944 President. “We love serving the Abbotsford community, but we’re against being undervalued. These strikers just wanna have a fair contract.”

With negotiations scheduled to resume on Monday, the union continues to show its true colours while spotlighting the urgent need for a fair contract now, demanding that Rogers have a change of heart and resolve this dispute.

Liberals reward Air Canada's refusal to bargain fairly by crushing flight attendants' Charter rights

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.

"Now, when we're at the bargaining table with an obstinate employer, the Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want - hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation." said Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of CUPE.

Rogers workers in the Kootenays joined IBEW 213 back in February 2024. Since then Rogers has table massive concessions in first agreement negotiations, while giving increases and bonuses to contractors.

Now Rogers has locked members out in an attempt to force a bad deal before federal anti-scab legislation — that we fought so hard for — takes effect in June.

Rogers needs to get back to bargaining and table a fair offer these members deserve.
