"Unions get $425,000 to settle rights dispute, The Globe And Mail Tue Jun 16 2009
Section: British Columbia News
Four unions have reached a $425,000 deal with the B.C. government over the loss of job security provisions in their contracts.
It's part of the settlement arising out of the Supreme Court of Canada decision that ruled the B.C. government infringed on the rights of unions by enacting Bill 29.
The settlement will be divided among workers of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the Hospital Employees Union, the B.C.
Government Employees Union and the Health Sciences Association.
BCGEU president Darryl Walker says the agreement will help union members who filed grievances after Bill 29 was brought in by government."
(Bills 27 and 28 are the ones that 'vapourized' our Collective Agreement and stripped many clauses from the CA we were forced to work under)
