VDLC Welcomes Two New Affiliates!

February 18, 2026

The VDLC is pleased to welcome two new affiliations this month!

Hospital Employees’ Union, St. James Local, represents workers employed in supportive housing, mental health & addictions services in the Downtown Eastside.

International Alliance of Theatrical & Stage Employees, Local 891, represents professional artists & technicians employed in the film industry.

We’re so excited to have these two unions join our Labour Council. Along with three new affiliations last month, this makes a total of five additional locals joining the VDLC already in 2026!
