British Columbia. Dept. of Public Works

[John Fryer, General Secretary, BCGEU]

News item. Interview with BCGEU's John Fryer about the British Columbia Building Corporation (BCBC) and the restructuring of the Dept. of Public Works. 800 employees are to be laid off. The Socreds, he says, decided to set up BCBC without consulting with the BCGEU. The BCGEU has just had a meeting with the consulting firm hired by the government; the firm's attititude towards present employees is very poor. Consequently, a joint committee will be set up by the BCGEU to deal with the transition from the Dept. of Public Works to the Crown Corporation, and the adjustment processes for all employees. A detailed program will be started by BCGEU to find alternative employment opportunities, for re-training people and relocating people, and for other options like severence pay. Each BCGEU member involved in this shake-up will get the full support of the union, says Mr. Fryer.
