The B.C. NDP government has introduced a one-page bill that bestows the right to join a union on the 350 lawyers who work for government. There’s a catch.
Premier David Eby is well into his re-interpretation of that cliché about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.
They’ve been working toward that for years, so the NDP is portraying it as a union-friendly government welcoming the brothers and sisters on the coalface of government law into the house of labour. But the February move was made when the lawyers were well into the Labour Relations Board process of organizing their own bargaining entity.
He ran the B.C. Civil Liberties Association earlier, but it objected to his musings while attorney general about detention for youths in acute overdose crises. The NDP may be feeling a little shame-faced about the situation, based on Thursday’s performance. During four hours of debate, eight Opposition members railed on against the bill. Only two government MLAs rose to defend it.
