The government and the B.C. General Employees' Union (BCGEU) have agreed to enter into mediation with the assistance of mediators Vince Ready and Amanda Rogers in an effort to find a resolution to the current dispute between the parties that has resulted in the public-service strike. 

The strike is having an impact on the public, businesses and employees, and government is committed to reaching a fair agreement that works for everyone.

Out of respect for the mediation process, government will not be releasing any further details at this time.
