Dear Vancouver Coastal Health HSPBA and CBA Members:

As of 12:01 p.m. on July 2, 2026, BC nurses in the Nurses’ Bargaining Association (NBA) implemented job action in the form of an overtime ban and refusal of all non-nursing duties. The NBA has not announced any picket lines currently, and all CUPE members must report to work as usual. If you encounter a picket line at your worksite, do not cross and contact your union immediately for further guidance and information on essential service levels.

We will keep you updated should there be any new developments. 

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact your local directly.

In solidarity,

CUPE Local 15
