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. https://t.co/ivQ4cRqv0h

#BREAKING NEWS: The BC Nurses’ Union says it has reached a tentative agreement with the province. https://t.co/tvNu4Su52Q

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%

[BC Nurses’ Union @BCNursesUnion]

More than 50,000 nurses voted 98.2% YES in favour of strike action, sending a clear message to the employer: nurses are united, organized, and ready to fight for better patient care, safer working conditions, and respect for the profession. https://t.co/EeBNGgoGsV

[BC Nurses’ Union @BCNursesUnion]

Hundreds of BC nurses are rallying in Vancouver today, sending a powerful message of unity ahead of a historic strike vote. Nurses are standing together for a fair contract, safer workplaces, and a stronger health-care system. Read our news release here: https://t.co/xnvVCDYRix

We recognize the significant fiscal pressures facing the province and the continued investment in health care, but nurses and patients need more than broad commitments. Read more: https://t.co/O2cjLIomeH

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.

[BC Nurses’ Union @BCNursesUnion]

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.

[BC Nurses’ Union @BCNursesUnion]

BCNU is in #YYJ today, delivering a violence prevention plan to government & opposition MLAs to address violence in health care. This, as negotiations for a new collective agreement are now underway. https://t.co/EG6nBKxDTB

[Adriane Gear @adrianegear]

@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.

BCNU leaders are in #YYJ this week at #UBCM25 engaging with elected mayors, councillors & regional district directors from across BC about the importance of the province continuing to implement minimum nurse-to-patient ratios, so nurses can provide high-quality care to patients.
