BC General Employees' Union (BCGEU)
@bcgeu.bsky.social
The BCGEU is one of the largest and most diverse unions in British Columbia with over 100,000 members in 550 bargaining units in the public and private sector.
BCGEU members are on the picket line alongside nurses this week, because safe staffing for health care workers means safer care for everyone in B.C. @bcnurse.bsky.social
Hi. Me again. I'll be running this account for a bit. Don't worry, I cleared it with comms. Mostly.
When workers speak, it matters. The BCGEU stands with B.C. nurses as they continue to fight for the safe workplaces, fair compensation and respect they deserve. Read the full message from BCNU President Adriane Gear: bcnu.org/about-bcnu/our-provincial-leadership/presidents-message
📬 The new Provincial has arrived. Help get it into the hands of your coworkers. Put a copy in the lunchroom, share it around your worksite, or post it on the bulletin board. Got your copy? Snap a photo and tag us. We'd love to see The Provincial showing up in worksites across B.C.
Our mascot is a big fan of the beautiful game. FIFA on the other hand… But you know what gets our mascot just as fired up as a last-minute goal? Fair wages, real rights, and making sure every B.C. worker has a team in their corner. Your team is waiting: and we're it. bcgeu.ca/join
Provincial funding for B.C.'s public libraries has been frozen since 2010. Workers are stretched thin, libraries are cutting back hours, and the services communities count on are at risk. Will you sign the petition for sustainable library funding? https://www.mylibrarybc.ca/?recruiter_id=484001
Sign the petition to fund B.C.'s public libraries!
Library funding has been frozen since 2010. Let's change that.

50,000+ nurses. A historic 98.2% strike mandate. A tentative agreement reached. Nurses across B.C. stood together, demanded meaningful change, and delivered. This is what worker power looks like. We stand with you through ratification. ✊ #BCNurses #WorkerPower #BCNU
Wildland firefighters risk their lives every fire season — but federal policy still doesn't recognize them as firefighters. That needs to change. We support NDP MP Gord Johns'@gordjohns.bsky.social motion to include wildland firefighters under Canada's National Occupational Classification. #cdnpoli
