“Wages and benefits are always something that the parties always discuss, but with this round of bargaining it’s about what the future of world of work looks like,” Black said.
“We’ve just come through a pandemic, or are coming through a pandemic, and I think many of us, myself included, were surprised at how quickly and easily at what we thought needed to be done at the office, didn’t need to be done at the office.”
The collective agreement between MoveUP and the BCGEU expired at the end of March 2021, with a 72-hour strike notice delivered on Friday after a final offer was rejected.
The BCGEU has been contacted for comment.
A press release from MoveUP notes the possibility of “rolling strikes or a full strike if the impasse continues.” Black said it’s a unique situation where a union is striking a union, but expects to come to an agreement sooner than later.
“The BCGEU has a real opportunity to practice what they preach, to walk the talk by making sure that their own staff are provided the things that the BCGEU has spent the last 20 months fighting for,” said MoveUP Vice-President Christy Slusarenko in the release.
