Due to increased competition and a keen desire to remain in business, we find it necessary to institute a new policy.

Effective immediately we are asking that somewhere between starting and quitting time, and without infringing too much on the time usually devoted to lunch period, coffee breaks, rest periods, story telling, ticket selling, vacation planning, and the re-hashing of yesterday’s T.V. programs, that each employee endeavor to find some time that can be set aside and known as the “WORK BREAK.”

To some, this may seem a radical innovation, but we honestly believe the idea has great possibilities. It can conceivably be an aid to steady employment and it might also be a means of assuring regular pay cheques.

While the adoption of the Work Break Plan is not compulsory, it is hoped that each employee will find enough time to give the plan a fair trial.

Yours demandingly,
Premier Gordon Campbell, B.C.

PS:  This Work Break Notice includes all previous 2001 Work Practice Regulations. Failure to comply to this Work Break Notice will result in a 15% reduced pay cheque (retroactive).
