One of British Columbia’s largest public-sector unions is calling on the province to allow more remote work as fuel prices remain high.

BCGEU members went on strike in September, and continued to escalate job action over time. More than 25,000 public service workers were on strike over the eight week period.

The B.C. General Employees' Union (BCGEU) and the provincial government have agreed to enter non-binding mediation, expected to begin as soon as possible. Vince Ready and Amanda Rogers are to be the mediators facilitating the process. The BCGEU said in a statement, it's members will still maintain picket lines across the province while mediation proceeds.

More than 10,000 public service workers and their supporters gathered outside the British Columbia legislature today as a strike by the B.C. General Employees Union (BCGEU) enters its sixth week.

The fall session of the B.C. legislature began Monday with a rare lineup of four political parties represented in the chamber.

The head of the B.C. General Employees Union says job action will escalate to more front-line services after the latest round of talks with the province broke down this week. 

The union representing thousands of striking public service workers in B.C. said it will return to the bargaining table with the Public Service Agency on Monday.

The union representing roughly 34,000 public service workers in British Columbia said it is ramping up job action at liquor and cannabis warehouses as a strike enters its fourth week.
