Outdoor workers in Metro Vancouver, managing essential services like water supply and infrastructure, have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if negotiations fail. The union, representing six hundred members and one hundred fifty contract workers, saw a ninety-seven point eight percent approval for job action against the Metro Vancouver Regional District. The union president, Jesse Medeiros, expressed frustrations over contract terms, worker safety, and pay packages that lag behind offers from nearby municipalities. The two sides are set to meet again on Wednesday, with the union hoping for a more serious approach from management. Metro Vancouver has not yet commented publicly, leaving the situation tense as residents await any service disruptions.
