Billie Carroll was a member of Amelia Productions, a feminist video collective Diamond produced through in the later 1970s. At the time of the interview, Carroll is working as a B.C. Liquor store clerk and is a member of the B.C. Government Employees Union (BCGEU) Local 503.
Carroll discusses the number of women who work for the BCGEU; the 1983 BCGEU strike in opposition to the B.C. Government’s introduction of Bill 2, taking way the right to negotiate almost anything except wages and benefits, and Bill 3, gave all public sector authorities the power to terminate workers without cause, regardless of seniority; the BCGEU’s participation in the Operation Solidarity movement.
