Transcripts and tapes released at a press conference Friday morning contain frank admissions by corporate representatives that they have no intention of hiring back HEU members fired by health authorities as they privatize housekeeping, laundry and food services.

Representatives of Sodexho and a major laundry interest presumed to be K-Bro Linen approached the B.C. Government and Service Employees� Union (BCGEU) with the intent of negotiating company-friendly contracts that kept wages low and HEU members out of health care.

But BCGEU � in close consultation with HEU � responded to the offensive and immoral advance by recording further meetings in an effort to shed light on the reckless agenda of the Campbell Liberal government.
