UFAWU-Unifor Shoreworkers

UFAWU-Unifor Shoreworkers The United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union is part of Unifor.

The UFAWU-Unifor represents shoreworkers - workers performing many different jobs in plants throughout B.C. The Union was created in 1945 by shoreworkers and fishermen who had a goal of working collectively to better represent their interests. Shoreworkers wanted to eliminate discrimination and negotiate fair wages, better working conditions and benefits. Proud achievements have been equal opportunities and pay for all, good wages, medical and dental coverage and a great pension

Herring for a Great Cause! 🐟

The 15th Annual Fishermen Helping Kids With Cancer Herring Sale is back tentatively on Saturday, January 17th!

This is more than just a seafood sale, it’s a powerful example of how our local fishing community steps up. Thanks to the fleet covering all operating costs (fuel, ice, and labor), 100% of purchases go directly to BC Children’s Hospital.

Since 2011, this event has raised over $1.5 million to provide comfort and technology for kids undergoing cancer treatment.

When & Where:
🗓️ Saturday, ***Jan 10*** postponed to Jan 17!
📍 Victoria: FinestAtSea (27 Erie St) - 7am: first-come, first-served.
📍 Steveston: Steveston Harbour (12820 Trites Rd, Richmond) - Advance tickets required (check fhkwc.ca).

Whether you’re pickling, smoking, or grilling, this "Best Choice" sustainable herring tastes better when you know it’s benefiting the community.

We remember.

It was January 7, 1981. Four construction workers went to work in downtown Vancouver and never came home.

Gunther Couvreux (age 49), Brian Stevenson (age 21), Donald Davis (age 35) and Yrjo Mitrunen (age 46) died that day, having fallen from the 36th storey of the Bentall IV tower where they had been working on a platform on the side of the building.

May this tragic event never be forgotten. May it serve as a reminder of the persistent dangers of construction work. May it encourage our continued call for better safety enforcement at our worksites.

Join the memorial ceremony today at Art Phillips Park in Vancouver at 12pm. Or livestream the event at https://video.ibm.com/channel/E9VSYu3DSSC
