VANCOUVER — The head of a group representing British Columbia's restaurant and bar industry says the ending of job action by the province's largest public-sector union will avert further"mental stress" for workers and owners already reeling from uncertainty.
The BCGEU, which represents about 33,000 employees, also imposed an overtime ban last week after saying the province's Public Service Agency had not invited it back to the bargaining table since talks broke down last spring. "It's probably going to take, realistically, three to four weeks to get the system up and running again, but I know the has been working on restart plans so it'll be a priority in terms of restocking the industry as fast as possible," he said.
Finance Minister Selina Robinson said at a news conference to unveil the province's public accounts that she was pleased at the apparent progress the BCGEU and the government were making at the bargaining table.
