Picket lines will be up once again at the British Columbia Institute of Technology Monday.

BCIT Faculty and Staff Association President Teresa Place says with another day of job action, it's expected some students in nursing and part-time studies will lose their terms.

"Our part-time studies students are going to be struggling to be able to make up any of this time.  Especially with Christmas time approaching, people are moving on, returning home for the holidays, and they won't be available to do their classes.  Our instructors will not be able to make up this much of a loss." 

Place says an offer of a wage increase from the government of one percent each year for two years isn't good enough.

Employees want a minimum of a two percent raise each year for two years, as well as some other improvements to their collective agreements.
