[news] Union tells health workers to stay on 'protest line'

[Resist!ca]

VANCOUVER - Hospital Employees' Union head Chris Allnutt gave a clear directive 
to health workers Thursday to stay on the "protest line" in defiance of 
back-to-work legislation. Picket lines remained up at hospitals across B.C., 
despite the passing into law of Bill 37 in the early morning hours. The 
legislation, passed after an all-night legislative sitting, cuts salaries of 
health support workers and forces them into a longer work week for a total cut 
to wages and benefits totalling 15 per cent.
