PSAC women have many reasons to be proud! 

From the 1980 ground breaking strike by women federal public service workers in the Clerical and Regulatory (CR) bargaining unit to bargaining tables across the country, PSAC members have demanded employers provide decent working conditions and respect workers’ human rights.

Twenty years ago the union adopted a detailed policy, Women and the Alliance:  From the Margins to the Mainstream, a blueprint for achieving women’s equality in the workplace, in society and in the union.

All PSAC members can be proud of what the women in our union have accomplished.

To win systemic change that benefits all women – and indeed all workers – PSAC members have lobbied and mobilized in the union and in their communities to support employment equity, to defend the long-gun registry, to adopt pro-active pay equity laws and to establish a national child care system.

PSAC women are active at all levels of the Union, such as Regional Women’s Committees, and the National Human Rights Committee, where they discuss, strategize, develop action plans and adopt resolutions that further our union’s commitment to working women equality.

Despite the many victories, challenges remain. PSAC women will always continue to fight for better working conditions, better work/life balance and full respect for human rights.
