Agreement reached on Bill 37 BCGEU
'Gordon Campbell caused this strike,' said Heyman. 'Health care workers in the BCGEU, HEU and other unions were hit hard by Bill 37, which was unprecedented, punitive, unfair and unbalanced. This legislation provoked not only health care workers and the labour movement, but also fair-minded citizens around the province. It was our united and co-ordinated action in support of HEU, BCGEU and other health care workers that caused the government to back down on the worst aspects of Bill 37.'
Unions back in court on Campbell government’s contract-breaking legislation BCGEU
“The case against government legislation tearing up collective agreements is about the right of workers to freely negotiate collective agreements under Canadian law,” said Heyman.
The unions’ case was launched in March, 2002 and argued in B.C. supreme Court by noted Victoria constitutional lawyer Joe Arvay in April 2003.
The International Labour Organization has strongly criticized the Campbell government for trampling on the rights of trade union members through Bill 29.------------------------------------------- posted 6:00 PM :: reference link ::
