flag B.C. health workers vote 92.3% for strike over pay, scheduling, and benefits after failed talks.

flag British Columbia community health workers, represented by the BCGEU, have voted 92.3% in favor of strike action after nearly 20 days of stalled contract negotiations with the Health Employers Association of BC. flag The vote, which closed November 27, 2025, marks the first such action in three decades and highlights unresolved issues including pay equity, overtime rules, scheduling protections, and benefits funding. flag Nearly 26,000 workers in roles supporting seniors, shelters, mental health programs, and detox services are affected. flag While no strike has been launched, the union says ongoing inequities are driving staff shortages and threatening essential community health services. flag The union remains willing to return to bargaining, but demands remain unmet.
