BCNU welcomes this BCSC ruling. The plaintiffs’ claimed to be acting on behalf of patients, but their real motive is profit. Nurses care for all, and we believe surgeries should be provided based on medical need not the size of your bank account.

It is disturbing that doctors at NRGH and Royal Jubilee Hospital have had to resort to establishing safe consumption sites to help people struggling with substance use disorders. These services ought to be provided by the employer. Read our statement:

BC’s nurses are proud to be among the hundreds of thousands of @CFNU members in solidarity with striking @cupw members and @cupenat @ILWUCanada members subjected to binding arbitration. All decision-makers must respect workers’ fundamental right to free collective bargaining.
Canada’s nurses express their disappointment with the federal Labour Minister’s decision to impose binding arbitration to end the lock-out at ports in B.C., Montreal and Quebec City. This decision risks undermining workers’ fundamental right to fair collective bargaining. Read
