It is alleged that two BTC managers were “wrongfully” recently terminated without a reason, this lead to the BCPMU stepping forward defend its members. Union officials alleged that one of the terminated managers is allegedly a cancer patient who was undergoing treatment while on sick leave when she was reportedly fired.
