The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) is proud to announce a new affiliation agreement with the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) that strengthens support for Northern nurses.
Wildfires are getting bigger. Floods are getting worse. Extreme heat is becoming the norm, not the exception. Communities across the country are facing a growing climate threat — and now is exactly the wrong moment for the government to be cutting the public services we rely on to respond.
The Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board has agreed with PSAC's request to bypass the Public Interest Commission (PIC) process for the TC bargaining group.
Do you want to know why the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board’s decision to bypass the lengthy Public Interest Commission (PIC) process was historic? Or how Treasury Board's insulting wage offer [5] of less than 1% per year amounts to a direct pay cut for federal public service workers?
Strong contracts depend on informed and engaged members. Inviting a Parks Canada bargaining team member to your next meeting or union event is one of the most effective ways to keep members connected and build power.
Our TC bargaining team met with the employer in mediation July 16-17. These mediation dates were set by the Federal Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board (FPSLREB) following our bargaining team’s decision to declare impasse in May [8].

The Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board has agreed with PSAC's request to bypass the Public Interest Commission (PIC) process for the EB bargaining group.
In a precedent setting decision, the Canada Industrial Relations Board has ruled that the Bank of Canada broke the new anti-scab legislation by using replacement workers to try to keep operating during the PSAC Local 71250 strike. After 16 days on the picket line, this is a big win for workers and clearly demonstrates that no employer, including the government, is above the law.
Earlier this year, PSAC National President Sharon DeSousa appeared before the Senate Standing Committee [15] on Human Rights to discuss employment equity in the federal public service. PSAC also submitted detailed recommendations to the committee on how the government can better protect workers from equity-deserving groups during workforce adjustment.
Today, the federal government is forcing federal public service workers back into the office four days a week. The Secretary of the Treasury Board has admitted this mandate was a "philosophical" decision, made without any research, zero data, and zero evidence. That's not leadership. That's ignoring the evidence.
The Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board has informed PSAC that it will appoint a mediator following the TC group declaring impasse in May. Mediation is now scheduled for July 16-17.
