Unions in the colleges sector need to get back to the table
VICTORIA – Post Secondary Employers’ Association CEO Anita Bleick issued the following statement:
“As the CEO of the Post Secondary Employers’ Association, the employer bargaining agent in this sector, I want to be clear that we have an approved bargaining mandate and we are ready to negotiate.
“The PSEA is prepared to come back to the table with a reasonable offer, but unions in this sector need to be willing to stretch if they want to meet the expectations of their members.
“I am appealing to unions to stand-down this job action and get back to the table so that we can reach negotiated settlements.”
The Post-Secondary Employers’ Association (PSEA) has been the employer bargaining agent for all public colleges, special-purpose teaching universities and institutes in B.C. since February 4, 2004.
