Irene Lanzinger was elected in 2014
The first woman president of the BC Federation of Labour has announced that she will not be seeking another two year-term.
Irene Lanzinger, who was first elected in 2014, has been one of the strongest advocates for the minimum wage increase to $15 dollars in BC.
In a statement, Lanzinger praised the current labour movement's push for balanced labour laws and safer workplaces, before saying it was time for a new leader to take her place.
A new President will be elected at the Federation's 58th annual convention next month.
