The Union Cooperative Initiative (UCI) is hiring a new Administrative Assistant to support the growing union cooperative movement in British Columbia.
BACKGROUND
The UCI is a new non-profit multi-stakeholder cooperative established in 2021 to support the development of union cooperatives as part of a solidarity economy in British Columbia.
Our cooperative builds an economy that works for all – by supporting the creation, incubation, and operation of unionized cooperatives that provide family sustaining and flexible jobs that are good for people and the planet, provide business opportunities for underserved communities, and are accountable to the communities we serve.
The UCI currently operates three main program areas: cooperative development services with value-aligned partner organizations, a worker training program that includes the delivery of the BCFED Organizing Institute, and Cooperative Incubation and support services.
The UCI was founded by the Arts and Cultural Workers Union (ACWU), BC Federation of Labour, IATSE Local 891, and MoveUP labour unions with support from Vancity Credit Union, Union Protein Project, Community Savings Credit Union, Victory Square Law Office, and the Alliance for Cooperative Development through the BC Cooperative Association.
The Union Coop organizing model was established in the United States a decade ago through a historic partnership between the United Steelworkers (USW) and Mondragon Cooperatives of Spain. We build on this success of Co-op Cincy and their member cooperatives and the Vancouver Artists Labour Union Cooperative (VALU CO-OP).
JOB DESCRIPTION
Under the direction of the Managing Director, the UCI is seeking an administrative assistant starting on a 22.5-hour / 3 days a week contract. Regular work days are Tuesday to Thursday from 9 am to 5 pm.
The administrative assistant will support the 4 person UCI core worker team, coordinate the community print shop, and provide administrative and operational support to UCI members.
A passion for community development, dedication to social and economic justice, and interest in building a solidarity economy is required.
This position is a one-year contract made possible through operational funding from the Alliance for Cooperative Development and Vancity Savings Credit Union and will be extended should grant funding be renewed.
QUALIFICATIONS
Familiarity, understanding, and support of the principles of labour unions and cooperatives is essential for success in this role.
The UCI will begin operating a commercial print shop in January of 2022. Familiarity and experience in a commercial print or equivalent enterprise is considered an asset.
Additional spoken and written language skills are an asset.
