In advance of the 2017 provincial election, the BullyFreeBC Society wrote to candidates in each constituency to ask them to consider a set of recommendations to improve employment conditions and supports in the workplace.

As I received your email in the final week of the election I am sure you understand I haven’t had time to prepare a thoughtful response which this deserves. Keep up your important and meaningful work and if elected I would be happy to have a conversation with Bully Free BC.

Thank you for your work and participation in the electoral process. I hope you’ve had a chance to read the BC Greens platform which demonstrates our commitment to making every workplace safe and to supporting workers to be trained/re-trained including on the job, adult education and post-secondary supports. We are also committed to a basic income to ensure people can meet their basic needs without stigmatization regardless of employment status. I support recommendation 4 & 5 as they would assist to meet our core principles.
