Social services workers on strike

Workers from 13 community social services agencies will be off the job today in the largest job action since rotating strikes began two months ago.

The workers will be at Centennial Square between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with a rally at noon.

Agencies targeted for job action include Victoria Women’s Transition House Society, Community Living Victoria, Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre and the Garth Homer Society. Essential services levels will be maintained where required.

Ten unions represent the workers, including the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union and the Hospital Employees’ Union.
