Dispute over B.C. Nurses Union election to be considered by labour board
VANCOUVER — A battle over the leadership of the BC Nurses Union is heading to the province’s labour relations board.
Will Offley was hoping to unseat incumbent Gayle Duteil, but says his candidacy was terminated, along with those of two other people running on the same BC Nurses Vote For Change platform.
Offley says the labour relations board is to hear their complaint on Tuesday.
He’s hoping the board will rule he and fellow candidates Sharon Sharp and Mary Jean Lyth, should be returned to the ballot and that the union must hold elections as planned.
