Today, BC nurses issued 72-hour strike notice. On June 19, members rejected the tentative agreement. That decision followed a historic strike vote in which 50,850 nurses participated and 98.2% voted in favour of job action. bcnu.org/news-and-event…

FIFA projected to cost the province ~$600 million. If this level of urgency and investment can be mobilized for a sporting event, why isn’t the same priority given to addressing the strain on BC’s health-care system and patient care? #98.2%

BCNU is disheartened to hear that the Alberta government has invoked the notwithstanding clause, bypassing Alberta teachers' rights to a fair and respectful collective bargaining process. 📸 Geoffrey Sigalet via thehub.ca.

Congratulations @bcgeu for reaching a tentative agreement. The unwavering leadership of BCGEU's bargaining team and union leaders, and the solidarity of every member on the picket lines, have shown workers across the province what can be achieved when we unite together.

@BCNursesUnion is in solidarity with @bcgeu members as they enter mediation after weeks of job action. Holding the line for fair wages and respect is never easy, but it’s how real change is won. Your fight is our fight - your collective strength is felt across the labour movement, and we’re with you until a fair deal is won.

BC nurses have always known it – ratios save lives. New research provides evidence that BC’s minimum nurse-to-patient ratios have potential to improve patient care and keep nurses in the profession. Learn more: bcnu.org/news-and-event…
