Joint Statement from CUPE 15 and 1004 on Vancouver’s 2026 Budget
Today, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and the ABC Councillors voted to approve the 2026 budget despite overwhelming opposition from residents, small businesses, workers, and community groups. This decision is deeply disappointing.
This short-sighted budget will have long-lasting negative impacts across city services. As frontline workers, we know firsthand what these cuts will mean: fewer resources, increased pressure, and reduced ability to deliver the critical services our community counts on.
We want to acknowledge the thousands of residents who stood together with neighbours, community groups and workers, and called on Council to choose a different path. Their voices made it clear that this budget does not reflect the needs or priorities of their families and the community.
Our focus moving forward will be on supporting our members and addressing the labour relations challenges this budget creates.
