GSS at SFU

The Graduate Student Society at Simon Fraser University The GSS is the student society and government for all graduate students at Simon Fraser University.

We represent over 4,000 students in 38 academic programs at SFU’s Burnaby, Surrey and Vancouver campuses. The GSS was born on July 26, 2007 after a referendum in Spring of 2007 where SFU students voted to form a new society, independent from the SFSS, to represent graduate students. The BC Universities Act recognizes the Society as the primary representative of graduate students in university affa

irs and allows us to collect and administer dues on our members’ behalf. We use these fees to provide a group benefit plan, grants and other funding, socials, student spaces, and support to departmental caucuses. The Graduate Student Society acknowledges that we are located on unceded Indigenous territory of the Coast Salish peoples.

The GSS Executive Committee has endorsed the Draw The Line campaign — an unprecedented coalition uniting on September 20th to demand that Carney and the Canadian government pick a side: injustice, genocide, and climate destruction— or justice and a safe future for all of us.

Join us for a rally starting at the VPL followed by a gathering at the Science World Park.

What Unions can do for you!

March 7, 2025 (5-7pm)

Simon Fraser University Graduate Student Society
Maggie Benston Centre, #2203, 8888 University Dr, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6

Description:

Curious about your rights as a worker, what unions are and what they can do for you? Learn some BC history of unions, labour organizing, and how labour victories have and continue to support racialized workers in BC. Hear from our speakers on the difference between unionized and non-unionized workplaces, the benefits of collective agreements and bargaining, as well as, your rights to participate in unions.

The event is an educational workshop that invites student workers to learn about union participation. Some may be in a union, or interested in what being in a union means as a worker. There will be speakers on labour history and union structure from local unions and labour groups, such as United Food and Commercial Workers and Health Sciences Association.
