Your hard work is paying off<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Today, low-wage workers in BC will get a significant raise. BC’s minimum wage is increasing from $11.35\/hr to $12.65\/hr. Also liquor servers will get a lift to $11.40\/hr.<\/p>\n

By June 1, 2021<\/span><\/span><\/span>, the liquor server wage will be phased out and all minimum wage workers will get a $15.20\/hr minimum wage!\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This victory was achieved because of your support and advocacy. It’s a big step forward for our province.\u00a0You were among the sixty thousand British Columbians who signed our petition calling for a $15 per hour minimum wage with no exceptions. You can stand proud knowing you made a significant difference for workers in BC!<\/p>\n

We’ve launched our next campaign to support working people. It’s called Level the Playing Field<\/a>\u00a0and you can check out the website at leveltheplayingfield.ca<\/a>. For too long workers have struggled to get fair treatment from their employers, so we are demanding critical improvements to workers rights – like paid sick leave and better enforcement of BC’s employment standards. We hope you will be a part of it.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your ongoing support for this important campaign, and we look forward to working with you to improve other worker rights!<\/p>\n

In solidarity,<\/p>\n
