Wildland firefighters are firefighters. It’s time for the federal government to recognize that.
Sebastian Kalos, vice-president of BCGEU Component 20, is in Ottawa with BCGEU President Paul Finch and wildland firefighters, calling for proper recognition in the National Occupational Classification.

Vote BC Greens. They support workers more than the BC NDP. Just ask BCGEU, BC Nurses, or BC Teachers.

So that was BCGEU specifically. I'll admit the NDP couldve handled that a lot better. But the fact that even the BCGEU's own report card ranks the NDP higher than the Greens on most things speaks volumes. On balance, as the party of workers, the NDP is the best choice for workers

They brought the same people to the negotiating table with BCTF as the BC Liberals™ did under Christy Clark. They scabbed the BCGEU, have exacerbated climate change through fracking subsidy, and froze transit funding.
They aren't centre-right - they are a populist faux-austerity party. Right wing.

If BCGEU thinks the Conservatives are on their side they should consider history. Right wing parties have NOT been good for public sector wages.
Raises in the last 10 years under the NDP greatly exceeded the previous 10 years. Data attached.

Land value is created by public tax dollars, but mostly pocketed by property owners.
Some of that value should be returned to us, the public, through lower income taxes and more investments in transit and housing.

I made this myself. Here's how it works: send me your name suggestions in the comments, by DM, or at bcgeu.ca/mascot. Members get priority. I'll pick a shortlist. Then we vote. I have veto power.
The prize: your name on me. Forever. And probably a special BCGEU hoodie (if you'd like).
