Teck Resources Limited (CA8787423034) said on October 24, 2026, that strike action had started at its Highland Valley Copper operation in British Columbia. According to Teck, operations were continuing at reduced capacity, while the effect on total production would depend on the length of the labor action.

Three dates frame Highland Valley

On September 30, 2026, the collective agreement at Highland Valley Copper reached the end of its term, according to Teck. On October 21, 2026, the company said a 72-hour strike notice had been received from United Steelworkers Local 7619. On October 24, 2026, the strike began.

Castanet reported that 1,277 unionized workers were represented at the mine and that operations had been scaled back. The work stoppage adds an operating risk to Teck's copper portfolio because the company said production effects depend on the dispute's duration.

What does reduced capacity mean

Teck said contingency plans were in place to maintain safety and environmental management during the labor action. The company also said it remained committed to reaching a fair and reasonable collective agreement, leaving the eventual production impact tied to negotiations and the operating response.
