Even though B.C. passed back-to-work legislation for paramedics and dispatches in Nov., the ongoing dispute with the labour could still affect the Vancouver Olympics.

The Canadian Press reports:

Ambulance Paramedics of B.C. president John Strohmaier said the union is encouraging colleagues across North America not to volunteer at the Games until the dispute is over.

He said the issue could have been resolved if the province had appointed an independent, third-party commissioner to review the union’s concerns.

Instead, the provincial government has appointed an industrial inquiry commissioner who is a former deputy finance minister.
