PIPSC and it’s 4,000 members across the B.C./Yukon region endorse the call last week by B.C.’s Professional Employees Association (PEA) to restore scientific integrity in the province by adopting new provisions in its next collective agreement.
As our own recent success has shown, the adoption of provisions that protect public science is in the interests of everyone – the public, unions and governments. On the other hand, the loss of 25% of B.C.’s science officers since 2001 is bound to have had detrimental impacts on public science in the province.
Restoring scientific integrity to B.C.’s public service is clearly in the public interest and deserves everyone’s support.
Better Together!
