The @bcndp needs to back their rhetoric with action.

Transit staff in the #FraserValley have been on strike for 7 weeks.
These workers are underpaid & overworked by a private company the @bcndp have outsourced to provide an essential public service.

This is what happens when governments outsource public services to for-profit corporations without safeguards.
Although the buses are owned by #BCTransit, they are in fact operated by a private company – and that company is nickel and diming its workers. 3/ #bcpoli @cupenat
