British Columbia NDP Majority Government 2024-(no later than) 2029

[Brad Sallows]

And it’s only eight months removed from an eight-week strike by the BC General Employees’ Union, which was so successful it broke the NDP government’s bargaining mandate to produce a richer contract worth billions more.

The nurses’ strike is the first since 1989. And the BCGEU strike was the longest in provincial history—eight weeks.

I assume the main aim of the BCGEU strike was to break the bargaining mandate, and the same for the nurses. I had a good laugh watching their president deliver the "Oh we were not part of any bargaining that produced that mandate; that's their problem" line. The NDP only needs to pretend to cave to one situation at a time to be "forced" to pay off me-too clauses.
