One of the reasons I left the BC Public Service for the Private Sector  was that my salary got Red Circled or Rolled back, twice, under the Harcourt and Glen Clark NDP governments. That never happened under the SoCreds or BC Liberals.

Is there any potential for Conflict of Interest when the NDP apparatchik being paid out of my union dues is running for BC NDP Party President, under an NDP Government? NDP hidden agenda at work. Patrice Pratt was a paid employee of the Union, not a BCGEU member. She was supposed to be Local 67s Expert Resource in our final negotiations with BCSC  before it was wound down.

The "Lady" went silent, failing to respond to email and voice mail. Then she called the negotiating committee to say that as BC NDP president she was too busy for us, so shut up and take the offer. "You  computer people get paid too much already!" Staff started leaving (run up to Y2K), so they added 2 levels of "skills retention" bonuses for +12% pay. -) Couldn't make that one up.
