Bill Murray, provincial -

this point is contracting-out of

- services. The union is seeking

‘contract language to ensure no

further privatization of ambul-

ance services in the province.
Murray said privatization has

only occurred in seven B.C. -

jurisdictions so far. ‘‘We’re con-
cerned about the operations.
The government-run service is

the most efficient way of doing —

it, and we don’t want it piece-
mealed apart,’’ he said.

Talks broke off ‘three weeks
ago over the issue, and Murray
said wages haven’t even come up
for discussion yet. |

The previous contract expired —
March 31. Murray said the em- -

ployer will not be served with
strike notice prior to resumption
of talks on Aug. 22.
