LifeLabs and the British Columbia General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) are currently negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. Unfortunately, BCGEU has notified us of their intention to begin job action as soon as Sunday, February 16, 2025, at 11:00am.
LifeLabs respects the negotiation process and employees’ right to pursue their interests. We would like to continue to negotiate and work with the union to reach an agreement that is mutually acceptable and reflects the value our employees bring to their roles each day.
In the meantime, our highest priority is to ensure continuity of care for the people of British Columbia, who rely on us for their testing needs. As a designated essential service, LifeLabs will continue to operate, however some Patient Services Centres may be subject to rotating temporary closures. We will do everything in our power to minimize the disruption this creates for our customers and clients.
Please visit locations.lifelabs.com for complete details on locations, including up-to-date hours of operation.
We thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.
