As a group of close to 10,000 individuals working in BC’s public universities, colleges, institutes and private institutions, our members are dedicated to transforming people’s lives through education. FPSE serves its members by handling grievances, through collective bargaining support for our member locals, and by advocating to further the interests of post-secondary educators in the province.
