Encouraging All Eligible Members to Vote in the Provincial Election
October 15, 2024
Reminder: the last day to vote in the 2024 BC provincial election is October 19, 2024.
We encourage our members to vote — why?
- the provincial government funds post-secondary institutions like BCIT
- the provincial government sets the mandate for public-sector bargaining, including for post-secondary institutions
- our Collective Agreement expires in 2025, and the substance of our upcoming round of bargaining will be determined (as usual) by provincial government mandate
- therefore, we encourage members not only to vote, but also to investigate the parties’ track records and positions on post-secondary funding
