BC Nurses Prepare to Strike | Vancouver News

BC nurses are preparing to strike after rejecting a tentative contract deal by a massive 67% vote, citing inadequate pay increases and worsening working conditions in hospitals across the province. The union, led by president Adriane Gear, argues that despite some benefit improvements, the deal fails to address core issues like nurse-to-patient ratios and the lack of permanent staffing, especially as health authorities spend millions on temporary staff. Though the strike notice is set to take effect in 72 hours, union leaders remain open to negotiation and plan to outline next steps at a press conference.
