BURNABY — The union representing workers at the Kootenay Lake Ferry in B.C.’s Interior has filed an unfair labour practice complaint against the operator of the service.
The BC General Employees’ Union says in a news release that Western Pacific Marine has not given retroactive pay owed to workers since the current labour agreement was ratified last June.
The union also says the company has not “implemented new items in the collective agreement, including day-to-day scheduling, benefit increases and shift differentials.”
The complaint was lodged with the Labour Relations Board, and union president Paul Finch says the employer must respect the ratified agreement since the deal comes into full effect as soon as it is ratified.
