Teck Resources Limited said a strike at Highland Valley Copper (HVC) Operations could begin Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, after United Steelworkers (USW) Local 7619 gave notice, while operations continue. The earliest start is 11 a.m. ET (15:00 UTC), or 8 a.m. PT, according to the company. Teck disclosed the notice on Oct. 21.
The notice authorizes Local 7619 to start strike action at that earliest time. Teck said HVC remained in operation and that plans were ready to address safety and environmental management during any labor action.
The current agreement’s term concluded Sept. 30, 2026, Teck said. The company described its bargaining goal as fair and reasonable treatment for employees alongside an agreement that keeps HVC viable.
