On June 17, 1978 BCFMWU signed our first collective agreement.
Today, we are the largest maritime union in Canada, representing over 4500 members from across 35 vessels, 47 ports of call, and other job sites.
Our members includes a diverse group of workers on ship and shore.
We are forever grateful to those who fought for our union and we are proud to continue their legacy.
