GVRD Employee's Union
The Greater Vancouver Regional District Employee’s Union was certified in 1946 and serves the outside employees of Metro Vancouver (formerly the Greater Vancouver Regional District).
Who is the GVRD Employees Union?
The Greater Vancouver Regional District Employees Union (GVRDEU) is a collective bargaining membership consisting of employees who work for the Metro Vancouver Regional District (formerly known as the Greater Vancouver Regional District).
We have been united since 1946 and represent over 600 members and 150 contract workers across the region. Our certified and highly skilled membership operates and maintains vital regional services, such as protecting our water, air, and natural resources, providing drinking water, sewer, and infrastructure services to our local communities, and stewarding our parks, ecological reserves, and housing communities.
All our executives, stewards, and representatives come from the membership. We understand and work in the same conditions as our members. All terms and conditions from the collective agreement we negotiate and endorse apply to each of us. We stand united with our members during job actions and celebrate together in times of success.
We encourage active participation in Union affairs. Explore the services offered by the Union and find ways you can contribute. We are all part of this Union, and together, we are stronger!
