The question of whether to continue the affiliation with the BCFED will be put to a vote via online ballot from May 9 – 20, 2016. All PEA members are eligible to vote.
In June 2013 the PEA began a three-year trial affiliation with the BC Federation of Labour (BCFED) and its parent organization, the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC). Now, PEA members must decide whether to continue the affiliation on an ongoing basis.
We believe ongoing affiliation to the BCFED and CLC will
- give the PEA a voice in setting strategies for public sector bargaining
- provide access to high-quality, cost-effective, union-specific education and training
- provide valuable networking opportunities for members and staff
provide protection from raiding by other affiliated unions
