Welcome to CUPE 391

CUPE Local 391 represents the more than 750 employees of Vancouver Public Library, Sechelt Public Library and the Gibsons and District Public Library.

We are librarians, library assistants, delivery staff, maintenance workers, graphic designers, supervisors, library technicians, corporate service clerks, and printers.

We are compassionate advocates and thoughtful negotiators. We are active in our local community and engaged in the broader community.

We acknowledge that the work we do is on the ancestral, traditional and stolen territories of the Coast Salish Peoples. In particular, the territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), shíshálh (Sechelt), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh).
