B.C. Federation of Labour welcomes appointment of Jacquie de Aguayo as permanent chair

by John Smith Technician

In late August, the NDP government unobtrusively selected a previous association official as the acting seat of the B.C. Work Relations Board and Employment Standards Tribunal.

Today, Labor Minister Harry Bains reported that Jacquie de Aguayo is currently the lasting seat of the two bodies.

De Aguayo is a legal advisor, previous aide secretary-business chief of the Hospital Employees' Union, and previous organizer of portrayal with the Public Service Alliance of Canada.

She joined the LRB in 2014 and turns into its first female seat.

"The legislature looked for another vision and heading for the board and is certain that the new seat will help understand the objective of renewing the board's work," Bains said in a news discharge.

B.C. Organization of Labor president Irene Lanzinger has respected the arrangement, saying it will "help reestablish reasonableness at the LRB and adjust in working environments which will profit association individuals and managers alike".

The Labor Relations Board controls the Labor Relations Code. This implies it manages debate amongst associations and businesses and hears dissensions by association individuals who feel that their work association has spoken to them in a self-assertive or biased way or acted in lacking honesty.

The Employment Standards Tribunal hears interests of choices including dissensions from nonunionized specialists who feel that their manager has not clung to the Employment Standards Act.
