<strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong> is trying to foster more collaborative relationships<br />

by promoting open dialogue between union and management,<br />

and by keeping unions informed of all issues at <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>.<br />

Many unionized employees are frustrated by wage guidelines<br />

imposed by the provincial government for the past seven years,<br />

feeling they restrict free collective bargaining with <strong>BC</strong> <strong>Hydro</strong>.<br />

Employee morale has been impacted by these restrictions.<br />

We have attempted to find creative ways to recognize and<br />

celebrate employee performance.<br />

For example, last year we reached agreement on gain sharing<br />

with our unions. The agreement provided cash awards based on<br />

the company’s profit performance, customer satisfaction ratings<br />

and completion of personal development plans. We also reached<br />

agreement on market adjustments of some job classifications<br />

at Westech to make compensation more competitive within<br />

the marketplace.<br />

Challenges include negotiating similar adjustments to other<br />

job classifications, and working with unions to ensure<br />

capable and competent workers are trained to replace skills<br />

lost to retirement in coming years.
