В цифрах
The British Columbia Nurses' Union (BCNU) moved its actions to Vancouver Island on July 12 following another deadlock in collective bargaining negotiations with health employers. Union members began volunteer strike actions in front of Victoria General Hospital. Additional actions were reported to be planned at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and Royal Jubilee Hospital.
Union president Adriane Gear stated that nurses were forced to expand the strike due to the halt in negotiations, making a call to the provincial government. Gear, arguing that the government could end the dispute by providing a mandate that would allow for meaningful negotiations, emphasized that nurses want to work to provide care for their patients much more.
The union also announced that it has received more than 2,000 violation reports from its members since July 2, containing allegations of coercion and threats. Following this, a complaint of unfair labor practice was filed with the British Columbia Labour Relations Board. Despite all these events, it was stated that emergency and urgent healthcare services continue without interruption.
