Vancouver (20 Feb. 2018) — Workers at the Vancouver City Savings Credit Union Downtown Vancouver Branch (#10) have voted to join the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU/NUPGE). 

The 26 financial services workers at this branch join over 700 of their Vancity colleagues who benefit from access to fair wages and improved working conditions under their collective agreement.

"We are thrilled to welcome workers at the Vancity Downtown Branch to the union," says Stephanie Smith, BCGEU President.
