Gratuity days
Updated
On: Jun 27, 2009 (09:22:00)
The gratuity days have now been calculated for the period of January 1 to April 30 and will be entered into banks for the affected employees this pay period. This basically puts any gratuity hours earned in the bank immediately following each 4 month period, as opposed to waiting until the end of the year. Limits still apply as to how many times a year you can cash out grats (once a year after Feb), but hours can now be used as PBOT as soon as they go in the bank. Any questions or concerns can be directed to your Union Executive.

 B. C. Introduces Legislation Adding Lung Cancer To Firefighters' Risks
Canwest News Service Published: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 VANCOUVER -B. C. Labour Minister Iain Black introduced legislation yesterday that would add lung cancer to the list of cancers recognized as an occupational disease for firefighters. "This change helps firefighters and their families by streamlining eligibility for workers' compensation benefits, and delivers on last year's promise to add lung cancer for non-smokers as the ninth cancer recognized as an occupational disease for B. C. Firefighters," Mr. Black said in a statement. B. C. began recognizing some cancers in 2005 as diseases linked to firefighting. 
From left to right: Michael Hurley, president of the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters’ Association, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, John van Dongen, Minister of Labour and Citizens' Services, Iain Black, and secretary-treasurer of the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters’ Association, Larry Thomas.
