US EditionVictoria hotel workers issue strike notice calling for ‘fair wages’
- Staff members at the Victoria hotel and marina in British Columbia served a strike notice with a 72-hour deadline on Monday, June 23.
- The strike notice follows months of bargaining with little progress despite workers earning $24 to $25 per hour below Victoria's nearly $27 living wage.
- Approximately 90 employees affiliated with UNITE HERE Local 40, who overwhelmingly supported strike action with a 93% vote earlier this year, gathered at a public rally to demand fair pay and workplace dignity.
- Union representative Harj Aheer said this fight is about fairness and dignity in one of Canada's most expensive cities, with Vancouver workers showing what is possible.
- This move could lead to Victoria experiencing its first hotel labor strike in several decades, potentially increasing pressure on the hotel to address employees' demands amid the city's escalating living costs.
