Nurses in British Columbia are set to escalate their job action next week, picketing Vancouver General Hospital — the province’s largest — after a near-unanimous vote of nearly 50,000 nurses supported striking. While they pledge to keep delivering essential patient care, they’re halting all non-essential overtime and non-nursing duties. Union leaders say they’re not seeking disruption, but are frustrated the government isn’t addressing systemic issues, including a critical nursing shortage. A previous deal was rejected by a large majority, and the union’s CEO made it clear: real improvements to working conditions are now the government’s responsibility — or the strike will continue.
