A grassroots labour union for everyone.

The GU is a different kind of union. Combative, democratic, effective, and based on the principle of mutual aid.

Team up to improve your working conditions with a union

What we do
(and do well)

Fight for job security & higher wages

Confront understaffing & over work

Redefine the relationship between you and the boss through organization

Arrow pointing right

We believe in fighting for the common good

Just like health and safety, the protection of our communities and ecosystems must find a place in each of our collective agreements

We have the right to refuse to compromise our health; we should also have the right to refuse to pollute & live with crumbling social infastructure. We need to be able to go to work knowing that we are helping to regenerate the world, rather than destroying it. We have the right to wish for a better world for our children, as all the generations before us have done.
