The union representing B.C. Ferries staff has accused the corporation of unfair labour tactics amid fierce negotiations for a wage hike, according to a new complaint to the B.C. Labour Relations Board obtained by CBC News.

The Dec. 14 complaint by the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers’ Union (BCFMWU) claims B.C. Ferries has violated the province’s Labour Relations Code several times by allegedly undertaking “a concerted campaign” to undermine the union’s authority, bargaining behind its back and spreading misinformation.

The union is seeking $2.1 million in combined damages and orders for multiple declarations of wrongdoing in addition to a complete stop to the alleged illegal tactics by B.C. Ferries.
