  • Series
  • 2004 - 2010

These records document strike and essential service planning; collective agreement bargaining and negotiations; and dispute/grievance resolution. The records were created between 2004 and 2010 under the Emergency and Health Services Act (RSBC 1996, c. 182). Records include agreements documenting the transfer of bargaining unit employee rights from and to the Emergency Health Services Commission (EHSC); essential service planning files documenting the EHSC’s plans and strategies for responding to strikes by its unions; and records relating to the resolution of all disputes arising from the EHSC’s collective agreements and/or employment related legislation, including disputes filed by excluded employees and grievances filed by bargaining unit employees. This includes human rights complaints involving government employees on matters such as discrimination and personal and sexual harassment filed under the collective agreement and under the Human Rights Code (RSBC 1996, c. 210). The EHSC manages the administrative records of the management and staff of the BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) and nurses of HealthLinkBC.

This series is arranged by issue or subject; by bargaining unit, then by sequential number; or by complainant. The records include correspondence, agreements, planning documents, project files, legal files, memoranda, drafts, notes, reports, and presentations.

The records in this series are classified as strike and essential service planning case files (9250-20), transfer agreements for bargaining unit employees (9270-50), and human rights complaint case files (9300-60).
