The BC Government Lawyers Association's 350 members voted 97.1 per cent for job action.
B.C. government lawyers who fear the NDP provincial government could legislate them into a union have voted in favour of job action as they continue to oppose the proposed law.
The BCGLA advocates for the civil lawyers who represent the provincial government in court, provide it with legal advice and draft provincial legislation. The group has been in existence for 30 years and has filed unionization cards with the province’s Labour Relations Board .She said it amends the Public Service Labour Relations Act to implement collective bargaining rights for government lawyers employed in the B.C. public service.
However, the association said the bill could force members into the Professional Employees Association. The association asserts the move would deny those who draft the laws — including the Labour Relations Code itself — any right to unionize at all.BCGLA president Gareth Morley said the association has been clear in opposing the bill.
