Hospitality workers at Horizon North’s Kobes Creek camp and ConocoPhillips’ CPC Montney camp are ramping up pressure on their employers, having served 72-hour strike notices.
Workers at Kobes Creek issued their notice on Friday and could take job action any time after the 72-hour period expires. Workers at CPC Montney will be in a strike position on Thursday, May 1, 2025.
As bargaining continues, Horizon North workers say they are prepared to escalate job action to fight for better wages, travel pay, safer workloads, and improved benefits.
“We have been patient and committed throughout the bargaining process,” said Miranda Nedd, First Cook at Kobes Creek Lodge. “Now we are sending a clear message: we are ready to do whatever it takes to secure a fair contract that recognizes our hard work and sacrifices.”
In February, camp service workers at both sites overwhelmingly voted in favour of strike action.
Situated North of Fort St. John, Kobes Creek and CPC Montney Lodge provides accommodation sites for companys such as ConocoPhilips oil and natural gas operations in the area.
