    It is very concerning that the proposed merger of Life Labs & BC Bio will further impact delivery of health services under the direction as the proposed merger would result. Should the merger be approved, and resulting restructuring of the work force of the combined organizations, the BCGEU will have significant and or unreasonable amount of control on this essential service. I would urge for legislative guidance and rules preventing the unionization or the right to strike for this service. As it stands today, if I need blood work, weather considered life saving or just simple diagnosis, I have an option. Under the proposed merger, I would not.
