Branch Local 300- SEIU 2

06/03/2026

MAJOR VICTORY 🎯 When the Sleeman workers in Delta joined our existing Vernon union, we knew we would win big at the bargaining table with our combined power. Through our unity and strike-readiness, we won significant gains including up to 30% wage increases for Delta warehouse workers over the life of the agreement.

📰SEIU Local 2 President David Bridger calls on the federal government to act now to cancel this year’s scheduled beer tax increase and permanently eliminate the escalator tax that automatically raises alcohol excise duties every year.

"At a time when Canadians are struggling with affordability, automatically increasing taxes on one of the country’s most domestically produced consumer goods makes little political, economic or social sense. Since the escalator tax was introduced in 2017, federal beer excise duties have risen by roughly 18 per cent without a single parliamentary vote, public debate, or assessment of the cumulative impact on workers, consumers, or local economies." - David Bridger, President, SEIU Local 2
