Speaking up for social service workers and the communities we support
| Welcome to the the website of over 15,000 community social service workers in British Columbia. In cities and towns across the province we staff group homes for people with developmental disabilities, we counsel and support immigrant families, we work in childcare centres and in transition houses for victims of violence; we provide women's services, and assistance for First Nations families. All these services are paid for by the provincial government. |
We make a difference in your community every day. We know what services should be expanded at the local level and we have ideas about how programs should be improved so they better meet the needs of people in our province.
We're proud of what we contribute and believe our work deserves respect.
Workers in community social services are represented by thirteen unions, who bargaining together and administer the collective agreement. For more information on the CSS Union Bargaining Association see the media section of this website.
