Getting Back to the Roots of Labour Day -- Rallies Today for $10 Minimum Wage

 

From News 1130 --

It's Labour Day and the biggest rally is set for 11 a.m. at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Top labour leaders, like BC Nurses Union President Debra McPherson, will be rallying the faithful to push for a better minimum wage in BC. It now stands at $8 while the BC Labour Federation is in record calling for $10 an hour.

It's expected that much will be made of big salary hikes for the Premier and bureaucrats. Labour Day activities are also taking part at Confederation Park in Burnaby.
