Today marks the start of BCNU’s first-ever conference on minimum nurse-to-patient ratios, bringing together nurses, researchers and health leaders from across BC, Canada and around the world to focus on the next phase of implementation. bcnu.org/news-and-event…

We recognize the significant fiscal pressures facing the province and the continued investment in health care, but nurses and patients need more than broad commitments. Read more: bcnu.org/news-and-event…

Nurses concerned with escalation of violence they are experiencing as high-demand sites like emergency rooms have become "pressure cookers," union says #yyj #BCnews @BCNursesUnion president Adriane Gear joins @RyanPriceCFAX: iheart.com/podcast/962-ry…

BCNU is disheartened to hear that the Alberta government has invoked the notwithstanding clause, bypassing Alberta teachers' rights to a fair and respectful collective bargaining process. 📸 Geoffrey Sigalet via thehub.ca.

Congratulations @bcgeu for reaching a tentative agreement. The unwavering leadership of BCGEU's bargaining team and union leaders, and the solidarity of every member on the picket lines, have shown workers across the province what can be achieved when we unite together.

BCNU is in #YYJ today, delivering a violence prevention plan to government & opposition MLAs to address violence in health care. This, as negotiations for a new collective agreement are now underway. bcnu.org/news-and-event…

@BCNursesUnion is in solidarity with @bcgeu members as they enter mediation after weeks of job action. Holding the line for fair wages and respect is never easy, but it’s how real change is won. Your fight is our fight - your collective strength is felt across the labour movement, and we’re with you until a fair deal is won.

Listen to BCNU President Adriane Gear’s message celebrating #NationalNursingWeek - recognizing BC’s nurses for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to #MakeHealthCareBetter for everyone.

As a union proud to represent thousands of Filipino members, we extend our deepest condolences to the victims and the entire community. We honour the courage of the first responders who attended the scene and the nurses and other healthcare workers who are caring for the victims.

BCNU is shocked and saddened by the horrific tragedy that occurred last evening at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver. Our hearts are with everyone affected by this devasting incident.

A big thank you to Minister @KamalKheraLib for meeting with Canada's nurse union leaders, representing front line nurses across the country. Together, we'll keep working for stronger retention and support for all of our nurses - from students through the end of their careers.
