Government Licensed Professionals reach a tentative agreement with BC’s Public Service Agency

Dear GLP members,

Today we reached a tentative settlement with BC’s Public Service Agency after 28 days at the table. The bargaining committee recommends ratification of this tentative agreement.

The main highlights of the tentative agreement are general wage increases, as well as increases to the top step. These were the two main priorities that were identified by members during the extensive consultation that was conducted prior to bargaining.

A full explanation of the tentative agreement and an FAQ will be available next week; however, below is a snapshot of the agreement highlights and the full Memorandum of Settlement (MOS):
