VICTORIA — Special mediators have been appointed to help settle the British Columbia nurses’ dispute but the union says its members are not backing off from their plans to expand job actions to Vancouver Island.
B-C-N-U president Adriane Gear says she welcomes the appointment of Vince Ready and Amanda Rogers to work with the parties for 10 days to help resolve the dispute, which has seen picket lines go up in Vancouver and Surrey.
Ready has a long history of troubleshooting some of the most fractious disputes, and Gear says she will recommend to the union’s board to proceed with mediation.
However, she says nurses will push on with plans to put up picket lines on Vancouver Island starting Sunday in Victoria before they expand to Nanaimo on Monday.
