This was achieved because of your support and advocacy. It&#8217;s a big step forward for our province.<\/p>\n<p>The BC government will phase out the liquor server wage, ensuring by June 2021 servers will receive an increase to $15.20 per hour like other minimum wage workers. This change will positively impact pay equity in our province as women make up the majority of servers.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/bcfed130.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1551\" src=\"https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/bcfed130.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/bcfed130.jpg 130w, https:\/\/iamaw16.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/bcfed130-60x58.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 130px) 100vw, 130px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You were among the sixty thousand British Columbians who signed our petition calling for a $15 per hour minimum wage with no exceptions.
