Administrative history
The first organization of B.C. government workers was the Provincial Civil Service Association of BC, formed in 1919. The B.C. Government Employees' Association (BCGEA) was founded in 1942; it changed its name to the B.C. Government Employees' Union in 1969. The BCGEU gained full bargaining rights under the BC Labour Code in 1974. The BCGEU changed its name again in 1993 to reflect its expanding non-government membership base, to the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union.
