Labour Relations/Servicing
BCNU's Labour Relations Officers (LROs) help stewards protect members' rights under their contracts. The LROs are assigned to specific worksites and are organized into teams led by a coordinator of negotiation and servicing. LROs help stewards investigate, file and process grievances, and help BCNU legal counsel argue cases at arbitration and before the Labour Relations Board.

Occupational Health and Safety
The OH&S department works to prevent occupational injury and disease and to ensure fair benefits to members who become injured or sick.
