LifeLabs and the British Columbia General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) are currently negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. LifeLabs employees represented by BCGEU have provided Notice of Strike, effective Sunday, February 16, 2025.
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.
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 and remain open, however some Patient Services Centres will be subject to rotating temporary closures, beginning on Thursday, February 20, 2025. We will do everything in our control to minimize the disruption this creates for our customers and clients.
Please check our Location Finder for locations that are open for service. Customers with appointments will be notified if rescheduling is required.
We thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.
