That is another issue. Some BC ministries get way more applicants for jobs in the Peace and Nicola-Thompson regions than they do in the Lower Mainland. There is talk among managers in the Lower Mainland that they need a Lower Mainland living allowance similar to how people get a Northern living allowance just to attract and keep qualified people.
This isn't something the union is going to fight for now, but there is talk about it in some circles.
