MoveUP

MoveUP represents more than 11,000 union members at public and private sector companies in Western Canada. We are Local 378 of the COPE National Union, which represents over 30,000 members, and we are affiliated with the BC Federation of Labour, the Canadian Labour Congress, and provincial labour councils. We are also affiliated with UNI Global Union and IndustriALL Global Union through our national union. We are a diverse and socially responsible union, working together with many community groups to ensure the public and elected government representatives are aware of the benefits that unions bring to the economy of B.C. Our union has a long and proud tradition of representing workers dating back to the 1930s. We began as the union for BC Electric, the predecessor of BC Hydro. We now represent members in many of the industries and professions fundamental to our economy including at BC Hydro, FortisBC, ICBC, Capilano University, BCAA, transit providers, credit unions and car rental companies. MoveUP can deliver results. We have a proven track record of helping workers get respect and fair treatment at work, and a collective agreement that makes it easier to support yourself, balance work and family life, and plan for retirement. You can your coworkers decide the priorities. One of the reasons people join unions is because it gives them a say in how their workplace is run. MoveUP workers set industry standards for productivity at workplaces such as BC Hydro, Canadian Freightways, and credit unions. Together, we will work in good faith to negotiate an agreement that will work best for you and your coworkers’ unique situation.
