The president of the B.C. General Employees’ Union is set to make an announcement this morning laying out the next phase of the union's public service strike.
The union says Paul Finch is scheduled to speak at a picket line in Surrey on the fifth consecutive day of picketing following the launch of job action last Tuesday.
The union represents more than 34,000 members working for B.C.'s public service and has held picket lines at locations including government sites in Victoria, Surrey, and Prince George, and the Royal BC Museum.
It says some of its key asks include competitive wages and fair access to telework.
Premier David Eby has said the government's goal is to reach a deal that's both fair to unionized workers and fair to taxpayers.
Negotiations for a new contract broke off in July.
