Three-Year Collective Agreement Finalized Between LifeLabs and BCGEU

LifeLabs is pleased to announce that LifeLabs and the BC General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) have reached a new three-year collective bargaining agreement after receiving binding recommendations from the Minister-Appointed Mediator

We appreciate the collaboration and partnership of BCGEU throughout this process. LifeLabs has a long history of partnering with BCGEU and we look forward to continuing the strong, collaborative relationship we have built over time. We would also like to thank Mediator/Arbitrator Mark Brown for assisting the parties in mediation and for his work towards the binding recommendations.

We also want to acknowledge the incredible professionalism and teamwork of our employees in BC, whose dedication ensured continuity of care throughout this period.
