More than 15-thousand health workers across BC have a new contract with the provincial government.

The two year deal includes more money totalling three per cent for employees represented by the Community Bargaining Association.
 
They include home-support workers, alcohol and drug counsellors, as well as staff at mental-health group homes.

The agreement --retroactive to April of last year-- expires at the end of March, 2014.

      @TonyB_0924 Do you think the NPD, with their union affiliations, would have agreed to anything less? I think not.

    The problem is that they are effectively pricing themselves right out of the market. One of the local, well run care homes has issued lay-off notices to all the care staff and are going to contract out the jobs because they can't afford the contracts of the staff they have. These facilities only get so much funding and can only make it stretch so far.
