Health care union strike vote leads to new extended deal
The Hospital Employees Union and the Fraser Basin Authority reach a tentative contract expanding contracting out protections and pay scales while boosting para medic roles within a community paramedicine model. The agreement, built on a 2012 deal, aims to stabilize jobs and prevent privatization amid stress on the health care system. HEU, CUPE, and other unions back ratification after a 96 percent strike vote in April by the FBA bargaining group.

Government offers new position at the bargaining table
BC Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced May 15 that the BC Public School Employers Association would shift its offer from a ten year deal to a six year term and provide a $1200 signing bonus. PRSTA and BCTF say key issues remain and warn of potential pay cuts if no agreement by June 30.
