  History of BC Ferries
In 1970, BC Ferries began the process of inserting 84-foot extensions into the middle of seven of the original nine ferries to increase both vehicle and passenger capacity.
In 1985, BC Ferries took over the salt-water portion of the British Columbia Ministry of Transport and Highways which included several short routes and 14 ferries.
In June of 1994, BC Ferries came out with a 10-year plan announcing a new Duke Point terminal, upgrading of existing terminals, new Century Class ferries for minor routes, a new northern ferry, and 3 new fast ferries.

 David Camfield | Neoliberalism and Working-Class Resistance in British Columbia: The Hospital Employees' Union ...
Possible reasons for this support include submerged but not extinguished traditions of militancy in the BC working class, a linkage of HEU workers with valued public health care in the minds of many, and a gendered sympathy with women health care workers.
The level of popular sympathy and active solidarity the strike sparked suggest that, contrary to the counsel of those who believe that public sector strikes are bound to meet with indifference or hostility from other working people, such strikes are capable of serving as effective rallying points for popular resistance to neoliberalism.
That HEU's confrontation with employers and the provincial government ultimately ended in defeat is best explained not simply by the politics of labour's official leadership but by the character of the contemporary labour officialdom as a distinct social layer which generally eschews forms of struggle that could threaten union institutions and established bargaining relationships.
