Our TC bargaining team was in mediation with Treasury Board on October 24–25. This weekend’s session showed how important strike votes and collective action will be to getting the employer to move on our top issues.

Our TC bargaining team is heading back to the table with Treasury Board and a third-party mediator on October 24–25. Earlier this week, PSAC announced strike votes for TC, PA, and EB members will begin on November 16.

A strong strike mandate is our most powerful tool to get the employer to deliver a fair contract. These FAQs cover everything you need to know about the strike vote process for the PA, TC, and EB groups, including voting eligibility, logistics, and what to expect.

PSAC announced nationwide strike votes today for 120,000 federal public service workers in response to Treasury Board’s insulting wage proposal, push for concessions, and refusal to address critical workplace issues. Strike votes for members in the PA, TC, and EB bargaining groups will take place from November 16, 2026, to January 22, 2027.

As mediation sessions continue across our Treasury Board bargaining tables this fall, keeping our collective presence strong and visible is key. 

PSAC was in mediation with Treasury Board for two more days on September 21–22. Our bargaining team is committed to making sure we’ve explored every path toward a fair negotiated deal for more than 110,000 PA members. 

Our FB bargaining team met with Treasury Board and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) from September 9 to 11 for our first session since exchanging proposals in June.
