2025. Single -room occupancy hotels on Granville

00:00:08.150 --> 00:00:11.570
Street are a failed experiment. That is the word

00:00:11.570 --> 00:00:14.990
from the Hospitality Vancouver Association after

00:00:14.990 --> 00:00:18.070
a man was stabbed to death on Monday. The HVA

00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:21.190
says the so -called SROs are dangerous and unstable,

00:00:21.489 --> 00:00:24.929
and the group is again calling for the 300 low

00:00:24.929 --> 00:00:28.030
-cost rental units to be permanently closed.

00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.420

00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:35.219

after being stabbed multiple times in Hope. He

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.060

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:53.340

workers. employed in care homes and support positions

00:00:59.929 --> 00:01:03.149
in hospitals. The group, representing more than

00:01:03.149 --> 00:01:08.510
67 ,000 workers in nine union locals, has a tentative

00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:12.010
agreement that includes a 3 % wage increase in

00:01:12.010 --> 00:01:14.810
each of the four years and some improvements

00:01:14.810 --> 00:01:18.150
to worker safety. Negotiations have been ongoing

00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:22.390

00:01:22.390 --> 00:01:25.090
BC's commitment, forcing all new vehicles to

00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:29.700
be zero -emission, By 2035, the province now

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:32.700

patches for Wednesday morning and then a mix

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:46.280
