COPE SEPB Region 1 – Quebec

Region 1 SEPB-Quebec is a union organization composed of 12 local unions comprising some 15,000 members, which are mostly office, technical and professional employees.

Québec’s first local union, Local 57, was founded in Montréal in 1945 as an affiliate of the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec (FTQ).
