    B.C. ferry maintenance workers officially locked out nupge.ca
    It's official. Just as the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers' Union warned two weeks ago, Deas Pacific Marine has locked out ferry maintenance workers.The union, an affiliate of the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU/NUPGE), will now seek permission from the provincial labour board to extend picketing beyond the Deas Pacific premises to West Coast ferry terminals. More than 160 workers are off the job.

    Deas Pacific is a subsidiary of B.C. Ferries, the private sector company that took over West Coast ferry operations after the right-wing government of Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell came to power.
