BCAA wants to sell off

part of its. business to an out-of-province
company. This means that profits and jobs will be
lost in BC and that should make us mad. British
Columbians have worked hard to build a good life in
this province, but when BC companies behave like
this we should worry about the future. On March
25th, BCAA will hold its Annual General Meeting. At
that meeting, BCAA management will attempt to get
approval to sell their insurance subsidiary to a
Calgary company with a head office in Quebec. We
need to keep the jobs and profits in BC.

You can help stop this sell-off by attending the BCAA
Annual General Meeting on March 25th. If you can-
not attend the meeting, send your proxy* vote to Ron
Tuckwood, a long-standing BCAA member and
President of OPEIU Local 378. He’ll see to it that your
voice of opposition to this sale is heard.

Help keep the ‘BC’ in BCAA.
