Are you an administrative professional?

Send your union - the BCGEU - a short video about what you do, and why your work matters!

Administrative Professionals Day is coming up on April 23rd. This falls on a day when our Public Service Bargaining committee will be at the bargaining table, so we would like to celebrate with you by raising our profile and visibility, highlighting the invaluable work we do in every office, in every ministry as well as alternative service delivery sites.

• Your name 
• Job title

In my role, I provide administrative support to Crown Counsel on complex, sensitive, and high-profile cases. This includes managing files, coordinating communication, and organizing evidence.
