B.C. Emergency Operators Vote for Strike
Description
95% of British Columbias emergency call operators, handling nearly all provincial calls, have voted to strike due to staffing shortages, heavy workloads, and concerns over system stability. They seek fair wages, more hires, better recruitment, and improved health supports. With over 700 workers and an average answer time of just one second, they dispatch to 33 police agencies and 40 fire departments. Negotiations resume Friday, aiming for a reliable system.
