Some History:
The B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers' Union was a direct result of legislation which removed the BC Ferry Corporation and its employees from the public service. That legislation was the B.C. Ferry Corporation Act, 1976.
The Union's founding Convention was held on January 26, 1977 and 64 delegates attended. In 1997 over 140 delegates attended a two day Convention on April 21 and 22."
