VANCOUVER - Strike action by public service workers from the BC General Employees' Union entered its third day with pickets in front of a Vancouver building that houses a Ministry of Finance office, and the union president says more strike action will come.

Paul Finch joined striking workers who wore placards and shouted slogans, one with the help of a megaphone, on Thursday.

Finch said it was part of an escalation to compel the government back to the bargaining table.

"We're going to continue to escalate as necessary," Finch said. "The government's refused to come back with an enhanced offer."

Finch said the union's members are willing to strike for "as long as it takes" to get a fair deal from the provincial government, but he said the two sides are a "fair distance apart."
