More Than Just A Union
CUSW-BC aims to become your "community" for work-related issues and activities in British Columbia.
A Proudly Canadian Union
From our inception, workers have joined CUSW-BC for a broad range of reasons: many to access employment, some to remain active on the Dispatch Registration List in the event they lose their current job, and others because they want to build an alternative union in British Columbia - one to be proud of and that reflects Canadian values.
Joining a Union in BC
The decision to join a union is one of the most important and influential choices a worker will make in his or her life. Joining a union in British Columbia is about more than just higher wages, better benefits and pensions, or stronger health and safety protections. It’s a path to a brighter and more secure future for you and your family.
We know you have questions, and we’re here for you and happy to answer them. Even if you have questions that aren’t related to joining a union, and just want to know more about your rights on the job or other issues, we have a team of labour relations specialists who can answer your questions.
Take control of your financial future. Your journey towards a better life for you and your family starts here and now.
