Unions and professional employee associations

Union employees

Most employees in the BC Public Service belong to a union.

For employees who belong to a union, the terms and conditions of employment are outlined in a collective agreement that has been negotiated with your union. 

Collective agreements have been negotiated with:

• BCGEU: BC General Employees' Union
• BCNU: BC Nurses Union
• PEA: Professional Employees Association
