so terminal workers make double what private sector equivalents make.
How do you figure? Have you checked wages at unionized private sector employers in town lately? That $26 an hour is likely very comparable to a hotel cook or cashier.

$26 barely provides a comfortable standard of living in Victoria. While there may be some fat to trim in the ferry system, I think you're looking in the wrong place.

- BC Ferries offers financial support to assist employees on their health and fitness journey through a dedicated reimbursement program, which has helped subsidize the cost of gym memberships, golf lessons and bicycles, as well as employee-organized initiatives such as the Grouse Grind challenge, multiple marathons and races, and the creation of an in-office meditation area
And don't forget free travel for you and your family. I think about that every time I miss a ferry by 4-5 cars. Always wonder how many free travelling ferry employees are on the boat ahead of me.

B.C. Ferries had budgeted to overhaul the main engines, install new generators, upgrade navigational equipment and improve safety — but the scope of problems far exceeded the original plan.
“This is what started to put pressure on the budget,” said Collins. The original price tag of $55.7 million grew to $63.4 million in early 2018, and finally $76 million in 2019.
“We were very disappointed in some of the condition of the ship that shouldn’t have been there because a ship being ‘in class’ should not have had these faults,” said Collins.
“We continue to make claims against the class society for compensation for the things that should not have been there but in fact were.”
B.C. Ferries also had a tight timeline. The direct Port Hardy-Bella Coola route had been cancelled by the Liberal government in 2013 because it was losing money. Todd Stone, then the transportation minister, said the loss was $7 million a year, resulting in a taxpayer subsidy of $2,500 per vehicle.

BC Ferries has put a cork in its plan to start selling liquor aboard its vessels this month.
The ferry service says it's still waiting for a liquor licence after CTV News reported in April the operator would pilot alcohol sales aboard three vessels this summer.
"We originally planned for a June launch, pending approval of the liquor licence application," BC Ferries spokesperson Astrid Braunschmidt said Thursday.
