Welcome to CUPE Local 1978


CUPE Local 1978 represents over 1,400 public service workers across Southern Vancouver Island.

We support our members with resources, advocacy, and opportunities to get involved.

Four images show diverse professionals: a woman with a clipboard, construction workers in safety gear, office workers collaborating, and a swimming coach by a pool holding a clipboard.

If you work at the Capital Regional District, Island Health, Greater Victoria Housing Society, or West Shore Parks & Recreation, you may be represented by CUPE 1978 under a collective agreement that protects your rights at work.
