The British Columbia Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU) is a trade union in British Columbia, Canada which represents approximately 65,000 members. The union employs over 180 servicing and clerical staff in 12 area offices across the province and at the Burnaby head office. The current President of the BCGEU is Stephanie Smith. Smith was elected to this position in 2014 . The previous President was Darryl Walker. ==Structure and History== The union, which dates from 1919, is divided into 550 different bargaining units. Half of the BCGEU membership work in the direct government service. The other half include instructors and support staff for colleges and institutes, community health care workers, group homes staff members, bank and credit union employees, and employees in hotels, department stores, first nations governments, theatres, and casinos, amongst other places. The BCGEU first gained full bargaining rights under the BC Labour Code in 1974. Since then the BCGEU has been involved in a number of precedent-setting legal cases, including BCGEU v. British Columbia on picketing rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Meiorin case on the test for discrimination. The union is divided into a component structure. This is the union's component structure: * COMPONENT 1 - Corrections and Sheriff Services * COMPONENT 3 - Community Social Services * COMPONENT 4 - Health Services * COMPONENT 5 - Retail, Stores and Warehouse * COMPONENT 6 - Social, Information and Health * COMPONENT 7 - Education, Scientific, Technical and Administrative * COMPONENT 8 - Community Health Services * COMPONENT 10 - Operational Services * COMPONENT 12 - Administrative Services * COMPONENT 17 - General Services * COMPONENT 20 - Environmental, Technical and Operational Members of BCGEU Components 1, 5, 6, 12 & 20 are covered by B.C.’s Public Service Pension Plan. This pension plan currently has equity of over $23 billion. As the nature of public sector employment has changed in recent decades in British Columbia, the number of BCGEU members who work directly for the government has declined while the number of BCGEU members doing work that has been devolved from government or contracted to the private sector has increased. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「British Columbia Government and Service Employees' Union」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
