## Resource

Over 700 Metro Vancouver workers are set to strike Monday, shutting down regional parks, water systems, and sewer maintenance — all while management’s pay rises and safety concerns go unaddressed. After 17 months without a contract, the union blames stalled talks, unsafe conditions, and ballooning contracts — including a wastewater project that jumped from $700M to $3.5B. Nearly every worker voted for strike action. Essential services like water and transit will stay running thanks to government intervention, but popular spots like Pacific Spirit Park will be closed. The union hopes this walkout forces Metro Vancouver back to the table — and fast. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
