WelcomePlacer mining in the territory has a rich and valiant history – steeped in the stories of gold seekers from around the globe and their adventures working the ancient stream beds that carve our Yukon hills.The territorys placer mining industry is founded on family-operated businesses – a way of life that continues today for many of our operators.A working placer mine involves everyone from children to grandparents – with some operations spanning three generations and some dating back to the Klondike Gold Rush.Today, Yukon placer miners lead the world in safe and efficient gold recovery, while making significant contributions to our economy.Today, we have replaced the pick and shovel of the very first prospectors and have regulations and legislation to ensure environmental stewardship, reclamation and site restoration.The tenacity that drives us to find placer gold is matched by our passion to find better, more innovative ways to do things.

The Yukon Employees' Union (YEU) is one of the youngest members of the PSAC National Board of Directors. Our founding convention took place in June 1990. However, we have been a member of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) since 1966. During the first 24 years of our existence, YEU was recognized as a unique 'Local' entity within the Alliance structure.YEU elected its first full-time President in 1987. At the 2008 Triennial Convention, members voted to convert the office of 1st Vice-President into a full-time paid position. All other executive members are volunteers elected from Locals across the territory.
