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
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.
