Information updated Nov. 27, 2008
The Local 502 Union Membership is 560 and there are about 700 Casual workers. The Local's jurisdiction includes docks along the Fraser River and the Westshore/DeltaPort Sites (Roberts Banks). Local 502 has had a large increase in the amount of containers it handles since the opening of the container terminal at Delatport in June 1997. Starting last year they also have had a large increase in containers at Fraser Surrey Docks. Their latest addition is IDC which will employ 502 members in an intermodal yard adjacent to Fraser Surrey. They have recently signed a Collective Agreement with 502 and will open this summer.
