The core dispute isn’t pay, but the employer’s demand that the union accept non-negotiable conditions before talks can begin — effectively blocking discussions on health and safety and the outsourced workload. The union calls this a demand for surrender, citing a recent serious injury on a water main and claiming nearly half the work is done by non-union crews. The employer counters that safety is regulated by WorkSafeBC and says mediation offers have been rejected, while pledging to reduce outsourcing. Both sides insist essential services will continue uninterrupted — though the union warns of “brown water” risks, and the employer promises no disruptions to residents.
