The BC General Employees' Union says provincial public sector workers have voted to approve strike action.
Union president and public service bargaining committee chair Paul Finch says 72-hour notice has been issued of potential strike action beginning 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday.
Finch says there was 92.7 per cent support for strike action, and 86.4 per cent of Public Service Agency members in the union voted.

He says the vote represents an "overwhelming mandate for fair wages."
The union says the strike vote was called after a breakdown in negotiations between the union and the agency last month.
Voting began on Aug. 11 and closed at noon today.
