    Anger remains after B.C. health strike ends CANADIAN PRESS
    HEU spokesman Darryl Pinkney in Nanaimo, where pickets were up at a transit yard, expressed anger at the settlement.

    'Most of our members feel that it's not over. Most of our members feel that it's unfair and there's nothing that changed.'

    Susan Barron, a lab technician at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, said she and her co-workers had been sold out by their own union.

    'All I can say is we have the ability to bring in new leadership this fall and that's what we will be doing. We've been sold out.'
