JOB ACTION
Effective 4:00 pm today, July 4, 2026,
GVRDEU members who work at Metro Vancouver Regional Parks will perform their duties ONLY BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., until further notice.
This escalated job action is being initiated to motivate Metro Vancouver Management to return to the bargaining table with a genuine commitment to address the critical issues members have raised, including but not limited to:
- work in a safe working environment;
- ensure that a sustainable workforce is in place to deliver the critical infrastructure services that the Metro Vancouver public expects from its regional government; and
- stop the waste of public funds on contractor use for services Metro Vancouver has historically provided in-house.
Please be advised that information on future job action will be communicated through bulletins, and specifics about the Essential Services Global Order are available through your Shop Steward.
We strongly advise Members not to undertake any job action that is not sanctioned by the Union Executive.
In solidarity,
Jesse Medeiros
President, GVRDEU
