JOB ACTION

The Union has decided to temporarily remove GVRDEU members scheduled to work today from the South Fraser Construction Yard and from Water Services Engineering & Construction Job Classifications

• Construction Worker I/II
  • Tradesperson II – Carpenter – TQ
  • Equipment Operator II/III

Picket lines will be established at the following work sites:

• Seymour Main No.2 Butt Strap Repair Project – 100 Block Riverside Dr. North Vancouver

• BV5 Decommission Project – Harbour Rd &. Riverside Dr. North Vancouver

This escalated job action is being initiated to motivate Metro Vancouver Management to return to the bargaining table prepared to make meaningful progress on the critical issues members have raised, including but not limited to:

• meaningful improvements to worker health and safety;
• required wage adjustments to address recruitment and retention challenges in sought-after classifications; and
• the increasing contracting out of GVRDEU bargaining unit work.
