Episode Details

Nurses across BC are escalating their job action, with picket lines now at Vancouver General and set to expand to Surrey Memorial, as they push for better wages, retention, and safety amid a staffing crisis. Despite threats of discipline and license risks, the union insists patient care remains a top priority — with emergency services open and most programs running normally. Over 50,000 nurses voted to strike and rejected a tentative deal, demanding systemic change. As nurses refuse non-nursing duties and overtime, the union calls on employers and the government to negotiate fairly before the situation worsens.
