Some Details

.Yes, the majority of the BCGEU (B.C. General Employees’ Union) members who were on strike are back at work as of Monday, October 27, 2025.The strike, which had involved over 25,000 public service workers and lasted eight weeks, was suspended after the BCGEU reached a tentative agreement with the provincial government on October 26, 2025.Here are the key points regarding the return to work:

* Tentative Agreement:

The BCGEU bargaining committee is recommending members ratify a four-year deal which includes a 3% general wage increase per year, targeted pay adjustments for the lowest-paid workers, and non-monetary improvements like enhanced telework fairness. * Picket Lines Down: All BCGEU picket lines came down after the Professional Employees Association (PEA), which was also on strike, reached a return-to-work agreement to resume bargaining with the government.

Is this a good picture* Ratification Vote:

The 34,000 public service members will vote on ratifying the tentative agreement between November 6 and 13, 2025.

Good luck
