We are BC nurses who believe in Patient Autonomy, Freedom of Choice, Informed Consent Without Coercion and Privacy in all medical decisions. We come from all areas of our province, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, employed and terminated; but with the same common purpose…..we oppose the Public Health Order Mandates and the overreaching authoritarian measures instituted by our BC Government.
Medical evidence confirms that vaccination has not stopped transmission or infection. The continued enforcement of mandatory vaccination has resulted in a critical shortage of healthcare professionals in BC.
Terminated nurses found themselves ignored, silenced and unrepresented from our BC Nurses Union. Over the year since termination, the continued lack of fair representation forced terminated nurses to file a complaint against BCNU with the BC Labor Board. While waiting for an arbitration decision, the BC NDP Government passed Bill 36 making law which was previously enforceable only through temporary Emergency Measures. Mandatory vaccinations, government control of healthcare licensing bodies, increased disciplinary measures for non compliant are all highlights of the new Healthcare Professions and Occupations Act. The pandemic conditions that existed in the fall of 2021 no
longer exist yet there remains a critical shortage of healthcare workers to
assist British Columbian patients; our inability to work aggravates this
shortage of healthcare workers. The lack of representation from the nurses' union allowed the BC Government time to create and impose law that further violates charter rights and freedoms.
We greatly appreciate any donations towards our efforts as we continue to fight for an operational and just healthcare system. Funds are used for legal costs in holding the union accountable and accounting costs as we investigate financial operations.
