Women

Women make up two-thirds -- 67 percent -- of the total BCGEU membership.

The majority of BCGEU women work directly in government and in the health care and community social services sectors, providing vital services to the community. BCGEU women also work in a wide range of other occupations, some of which are libraries, colleges and institutions, legal services, municipal governments, credit unions, casinos and hotels, and call centres. The BCGEU is recognized as a leader in fighting for women's rights, be it at the workplace or in society in general.
