Forever in our hearts: Jessie Uppal

August 16, 2024

Regretfully and with great sadness we are informing you that USW staff representative, Jessie Uppal, has passed away. We were informed that Jessie passed away peacefully at her home in Vancouver. 

Jessie has been a valued member of the USW staff in District 3 for over a decade. Prior to that she worked, as a USW member, for many years for the British Columbia Federation of Labour. She was a lifelong New Democrat, including time working for the BC NDP government in the 1990s.

Jessie was a co-worker, colleague and friend. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by everyone that knew her. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Scott Lunny, Director
USW District 3
