Very sudden, our managers had no idea and even their managers had no idea. There are still plenty of open positions because many pharmacists are not adequately trained to work in the hospital. Our schooling does not prepare graduates to work in the hospital, many try to go onto complete a residency but there are only limited spots across canada.

Anyways, if anyone is reading, please spend the time to click a few buttons to help out @ Stop unilateral wage rollback for BC

Ask questions if you would like before you send away the letter, or draft your own.
