Nurses End Strike After Mediation Breakthrough | Canada News

After weeks of historic strike action, BC’s 55,000 nurses are calling it quits Friday night — thanks to breakthrough mediation by Amanda Rogers and Vince Ready. The nurses’ main demands, including tackling workplace violence, have been addressed, with union leader Adriane Gear crediting their collective strength for forcing change. The walkouts began with nurses refusing non-nursing tasks and overtime, escalated to major hospital picket lines across the province — including Vancouver General and Surrey Memorial — before pausing last week as mediation resumed. While compensation remains unresolved and will head to binding arbitration this fall, the immediate job action is over — but the fight for systemic healthcare reform isn’t.
