500 Atira workers unionize to improve the safety of residents, workers
The government-ordered report found multiple conflicts of interest between the former head of the society —Abbott, who resigned on May 15 — and her husband, Shayne Ramsay, former head of BC Housing, the Crown corporation responsible for developing, managing and administering subsidized housing across the province with a budget of $2 billion.
Abbott headed Atira for more than 30 years, while Ramsay headed BC Housing for 22 years. Their relationship started in 2010. Because the society receives a majority of its funding from government, the newly unionized workers will be eligible to join one of the B.C. government’s sector agreements.
