The union representing ICBC employees, COPE 378, has provided strike notice and will be picketing a number of locations on Wednesday, October 3, 2012. View list of locations affected by strike
The main ICBC locations that could affect you include:
- New Westminster – Lower Mainland Salvage
- Abbotsford- Fraser Valley Salvage (closed for the day)
- Burnaby – Collision Repair Learning Centre
- Kamloops Litigation in the Kamloops Driver
Licensing Office
- New Westminster Litigation
- North Vancouver (Head Office)
If your regular business involves attending one of
these sites, and you encounter a picket line, it will be up to you and/or your
representatives to decide whether or not to cross the line. If you choose to do
so, please:
·
Expect to be
delayed and be prepared to wait until you can safely pass through the picket
line. Do not become involved in any arguments or any type of altercation.
·
Explain your
situation to the picketers with a statement similar to the following: "I
would like to exercise my right to enter this office. Please let me cross the
picket line."
·
Do not attempt to
force your way past if you are prevented from crossing the picket line, or if
you feel threatened.
Mail service: ICBC’s internal mail service will be suspended at Head
Office, meaning no pickups or drop-offs by Purolator Courier. Regular service
will resume the following day. In addition, Canada Post has been notified of
the impending strike action and it is unlikely there will be any postal
delivery or pickup that day at those locations.
We are committed to continuing to serve you and your customers, while
reaching a fair collective agreement with our unionized workers.
