## Resource

Over 700 emergency dispatch workers in British Columbia are preparing to strike after months of stalled negotiations with E-Comm, the company managing 911 services across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. With wildfire season and summer demand ramping up, union leaders say staffing shortages threaten public safety and demand immediate action — including a government-appointed mediator — to avoid a Monday afternoon walkout. E-Comm insists services won’t be disrupted and remains open to weekend talks, but both sides are stuck in a tense standoff over fair wages and budget constraints.
