The Nova Scotia gov't will be paying up to $5K in damages to union members who were impacted by Bill 148, the unconstitutional wage restraint legislation. Victory against Bill 148 and in defense of workers’ right to free and fair collective bargaining! @nsgeu.bsky.social @seiu.org

The approximately 30 workers - groundskeepers, restaurant servers and cooks, and a pro-shop clerk - want to return to work, welcome patrons, and deliver the best possible service. But that requires management to address these concerns and negotiate a fair agreement.

Workers at Nico Wynd Golf Course in Surrey have been left with little choice but to go on strike since October 1st after management refused to address several basic workplace concerns.

🧵 It's municipal elections day across British Columbia tomorrow, October 17! We wanted to recognize Brad West, Mayor of Port Coquitlam, who's seeking re-election. @bcfed.bsky.social @seiu.org

Like Mayor West said: “Strong communities are built by frontline workers and the people who clean our facilities, transit stations, and public spaces deserve to be heard.”

As the Chair of the Mayors’ Council, the collective voice of Metro Vancouver mayors on transit and transportation, Brad West has supported cleaners working at the Metro Vancouver SkyTrain system who have had to deal with understaffing and unsafe working conditions.

Dexterra is refusing to offer raises that keep up with cost-of-living increases. We need stable schedules, not last-minute changes and overtime demands.

We've reached an impasse at negotiations so now it's time for an info picket ("practice picket") to show our solidarity with one another and inform other workers about our ongoing fight!

🧵 The federal government is dangerously proposing legislation to restrict legal strikes through Bill C-39. Today, workers across the country held a National Day of Action to protect our right to strike! @seiu.org @canadianlabour.bsky.social

workerstogether.caProtect workers’ right to strike - Workers TogetherBig corporations already have too much power. Now the federal government has introduced a bill that could give it new powers to end legal strikes and weaken workers’ bargaining power, making it easier...

We need to keep putting pressure on this government so write to your MP here (or at the link in our bio): workerstogether.ca/repeal-107-p...

For the past week and a half, @seiulocal2.bsky.social members at Nico Wynd Golf in Surrey have been on the picket line. #BCLab

SEIU Local 2@seiulocal2.bsky.social

We’re on the picket lines because management continues being unreasonable on several important and surprisingly basic fronts. We will stay on the picket lines over seniority rights, unpaid wages, and harassment! @bcfed.bsky.social @canadianlabour.bsky.social @seiu.org

🧵 STRIKE DAY 9: Hey Nico Wynd, pay your employees on time! Roughly 30 employees at Nico Wynd Golf in Surrey, BC have been on strike over seniority rights, harassment at work, and pay issues. @seiu.org @canadianlabour.bsky.social @bcfed.bsky.social

In fact, paychecks are consistently late and often short. Management's refusal to fix the issue is one of the key reasons for the strike. Workers were supposed to get paid this morning for hours worked before the strike started ... but you'll never guess what happened.

Mike Graveling, a groundskeeper with 20 years of service, tells us and how it's impacting him.

We took part in the inspiring and first-ever SEIU Asian Pacific Islander Summit in Saskatoon. Give this a watch to see how we contributed with a theme important to us: migrant worker rights. Solidarity! @seiu.org

🧵 Day 2 of the Nico Wynd Golf Course workers' strike! We’re on the picket lines (join us at: 3601 Nico Wynd Dr, Surrey, BC) because management continues being unreasonable on several important and surprisingly basic fronts. @bcfed.bsky.social @canadianlabour.bsky.social @seiu.org

Today, instead of working to end the strike and get back to negotiations, Nico Wynd management has threatened to cut us off our medical benefits -- something they don't have the power to do because we have union controlled benefits!

We, the roughly 30 employees at Nico Wynd Golf, will stay on the picket lines over seniority rights, unpaid wages, and harassment!
