BCGEU -Streik: Gewerkschaftsführer beschuldigt die Regierung von BC, „völlig falsche“ Behauptungen zu ergeben

I tried to do the math myself, based on this:

[https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/careers/all-employees/pay-and-benefits/salaries-overtime-and-other-wages/bcgeu_wage_increases.pdf](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/careers/all-employees/pay-and-benefits/salaries-overtime-and-other-wages/bcgeu_wage_increases.pdf)

I get a total 27.0% wage increase when you compound those over the last ten years (July 2015 to July 2025). Inflation over that period was 29.5%. So on that point seems to be correct on the part of the BCGEU and not the government.

I wish we had high enough quality journalism in this country to independently verify claims like that right in the article.

Edit: This doesn’t include things like CPP expansion though, so maybe both are telling the truth in different ways.
