Vancouver & District Labour Council

The VDLC represents approximately 60,000 workers from over 90 affiliated unions in our community. Est. 1889.

99% of collective agreements are reached without a strike.
Collective bargaining and job action are not only Constitutional rights, vital in a democracy - they work in practice.
Congrats to CUPE members and Westjet on reaching a negotiated settlement.

A WorkSafeBC Inspection of Dexterra's SkyTrain cleaning operations has resulted in six outstanding safety orders after officers identified multiple health and safety violations affecting workers across the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines in Vancouver.

Thank you for your steadfast advocacy on this!

[Brad West @BradWestPoCo]

We see far too many examples of government systems & bureaucracies operating with rigid, cold indifference to the people they’re supposed to serve. What should be at the centre, especially with a service like HandyDart, is human dignity.

I was pleased to speak to @GlobalBC & will continue to advocate for Mr. Cretain.

Devastating and wrong-headed.

[OneCity Vancouver @OneCityVan]

To the people who still envision a walkable, vibrant Vancouver, it's still possible. ABC killed the plan today, but OneCity is committed to bringing more diverse, thriving neighbourhoods to every community.

You have the right to refuse unsafe work. ⚠️ Here's what the law says, what to do if you think work is unsafe and where to get help. https://t.co/6A83GkPLl5

[SEIU Local 2 @seiulocal2can]

96% vote to authorize a strike! 

168 truckers in Richmond, Victoria, and Edmonton sent a powerful message to the employer, McRae’s, with this strike vote. 

When we fight we win!

[Canadian Labour @CanadianLabour]

We stand with the striking workers at the Bank of Canada!

The right to strike is a fundamental right that gives us the power to negotiate better deals.

Tell Prime Minister Carney to protect workers’ right to strike.

One of ABC's most shameful moves was to eliminate the living wage for Vancouver workers. We need a council that cares whether the people who work here can afford to live here.

[OneCity Vancouver @OneCityVan]

People who work for the city should be able to live in the city. Under ABC, many city staff can't afford to.

OneCity Vancouver commits to bringing back the living wage.

I love being out in community with our neighbours hearing directly from them about their hopes and dreams for our city.

It’s clear people are angry at Ken Sim’s casualty cruelty and are looking for real change.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and took the time to chat!

[William Azaroff @wazaroff]

Thanks to Vancity Lookout for this opportunity - and for helping keep local news and stories alive and well in Vancouver.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our monthly meeting & summer BBQ last night. It was a full house!

Huge thank you to ILWU 500 for the use of the BBQ, and to delegate John Urrico for doing the cooking, as well as to our staff and volunteers for making it a great evening.
