Community Social Services
CUPE represents approximately 2,500 workers in B.C.'s Community Social Services sector. We are the second largest union for social services workers in B.C.
We are a key part of strong communities and promote locally based social structures by supporting people with developmental and physical disabilities, children, youth and families, Aboriginal people, immigrants and refugees, women, the homeless and mentally ill, victims of crime and people in conflict with the law.
We work in group homes, shelters and supported housing, sexual assault centres and victims' services, transition houses, child care centres and programmes that provide counseling, rehabilitation, employment training, outreach, advocacy and referral services as well as crisis lines and information services.
We make it possible:
- For people with developmental and physical disabilities to live in community based homes and have jobs;
- For women and children to have safe shelter from abuse;
- For struggling drug and alcohol addicts to get counseling and treatment;
- For children and adults with autism and their families to receive support, training, and personal care;
- For people in crisis or need to find the information and services they desperately need;
- Vital services to exist and help provide hope to people in need.
We negotiate collectively with other unionized Community Social Services workers for respect, fairness and security.

Social services workers unite to support communities
BURNABY—Community social services workers are in every community in B.C., helping people daily. The services these workers provide are crucial to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the province. Yet these programs remain a low priority for the provincial government. Social services workers from all across the province have come together to let government decision makers and community leaders know how important their services really are.
