CUPE workers at the University of British Columbia deliver the services and education that help students succeed; maintain the campus and infrastructure that everyone shares; and make UBC a better place to learn, teach, research, and live.
From the residence workers and event coordinators that build community every day, the technicians, mechanics, and electricians who keep our campus running, the teaching, library and food service workers who fuel our minds and appetites—and to everyone in between—there are thousands of people working hard every day to keep the University of British Columbia working well for the people who live and work here.
CUPE members continue to work hard, proudly delivering the vital services, education, and maintenance across the University of British Columbia, because they know better services make for better campuses.
