The BCGEU is asking its members to ratify a pay cut, and is ignoring member response to this “tentative agreement”. The union is blatantly and deliberately acting in opposition to the needs of their membership. 33,000 members are directly affected by the union's actions, and 80,000+ members are also impacted. This should be setting a standard for all workers in the province of BC, yet the BCGEU is attempting to undermine the very principles it was founded on. Membership is a mandatory condition of employment for all 33,000 members impacted.
What options can legally be exercised against a union that is deliberately failing to represent its members?
