SURREY (NEWS1130) – Prepare for another walkout by members of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union.
They’re planning another day of action in several spots around the province, including Surrey on August 7th.
“There may be some impacts on the general public,” admits BCGEU President Darryl Walker.
“If there are essential services agreed to between the union and the employer at any of these sites, the essential services will be maintained,” he adds.
The 24-hour strike will target the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations centre on 153rd Street in Surrey. Strikes will also take place in Kelowna, Campbell River, and 100 Mile House.
The BCGEU notes forest firefighting in BC will not be affected by the job action.
