Scope and content
Series reflects Jean Rands’s involvement in labour organizing in the B.C. lower mainland and in Saskatchewan, predominantly in the 1970s and 80s, both independently and in connection with the various unions and labour organizations she was part of. These include the Association of University and College Employees (AUCE), where she was a founding member; the Working Women’s Association (WWA), which disseminated information about labour issues faced by women; the Service, Office and Retail Workers Union of Canada (SORWUC), where Jean was a founding member and served as president at the national level; SORWUC Local 2, United Bank Workers; SORWUC Local 4, Bank and Finance Workers, where she served as president; Union Sisters, a grassroots group for women’s labour organizing in the B.C. lower mainland; and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (UTFE/TFEU).
The records consist of documents arising from Jean’s involvement as an executive and active member of these groups, such as meeting agendas and minutes, leaflets and flyers, legal documents, conference planning records, and correspondence. The records also consist of newspaper clippings and articles on topics of women and labour issues, reflecting Jean’s ongoing interest in these topics throughout her life.
