What: Fair Wages Commission
When: Thursday, November 23, 2017
Time: 5:00 PM
Where: Hyatt Regency, 655 Burrard Street
Our city is becoming more and more unaffordable by the day. We need a $15 minimum wage! The new provincial government has launched the Fair Wages Commission to hear directly from us at public consultations throughout BC.
This Thursday, the Commission will be coming to Vancouver and Local 40 members will be there!
YVR airport members from HMS Host will tell the panel how urgently we need to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour so that more working people can make ends meet and support their families.
We want the public to know that there is no place for minimum wage jobs at YVR or any workplace in BC. The price of housing, gas, food and other necessities keeps going up, but starting wages are too low to keep pace.
Join us this Thursday to support your co-workers from HMSHost! Send a note to [email protected] and let us know you’ll be there.
We want to send a strong message to the provincial government that the time to increase the minimum wage to $15 is now!

Cafeteria workers demand UNBC take action on poverty wages!
Local 40 members stand strong during tough negotiations at UNBC.
In late January, UNBC food service workers were joined by students, faculty, and community allies in a protest action to demand that the university take responsibility for the low wages paid to Tim Hortons and cafeteria workers on campus. Despite months of negotiations, Compass Group, continues to offer wage and benefit increases that would leave some workers below the poverty line, while many long term workers earn less than $15 an hour.
See below for news coverage of our protest on CKPG News!
We are determined to keep fighting until we achieve a respectable settlement. Workers have recently gained significant improvements in medical benefits but remain far apart on wages. We have filed for mediation with the Labour Board and are calling for the University President to support our goals for a fair wage and job security. Students, faculty, staff, and other union members continue to demonstrate support and solidarity for UNBC cafeteria workers.
