## Resource

Unionized workers in Metro Vancouver are preparing for a potential strike, with negotiations stalled and a 72-hour notice issued. The union, representing essential service workers, is advocating for worker safety, job security, and fair wages. The main points of contention include a significant increase in executive compensation and denial of fair wages for frontline workers. Metro Vancouver has committed to a fair deal, offering a ten percent wage increase over three years and a one-time adjustment, while assuring essential services will not be disrupted.
