This week, we saw SEIU-West members join MLAs for their summer BBQs in order to speak with them about the negative impact of government decisions to their everyday lives. They shared their frustration at feeling devalued by this government, and explained their experiences of doing more with less within the health care system. They made clear that zeroes are unacceptable and that they expect their elected representatives to treat their constituents as they treat themselves. If cost of living is increasing for one, then it’s increasing for all. We’re proud of the many members who have taken an active role in democracy – it is vital for our government to hear from the people they represent and we encourage you to write letters, set up meetings, and visit your MLA at community events in order to share your concerns and demand better.
