LPNs in HEU: United for our profession

New! BCNU’s statement on Labour Board ruling inaccurate

As you know, the BCNU admitted last month that they failed to garner enough support among LPNs to continue their raid on HEU and other unions.

A subsequent attempt to avoid the consequences of an unsuccessful raid also failed on February 10 when the B.C. Labour Relations Board (LRB) denied BCNU’s request to withdraw their raid applications.

On February 22, the BCNU issued a statement claiming that the LRB had delivered a ruling allowing their raid application to continue.

The LRB has made no such ruling.
