March 8 marks International Women’s Day, a time to reflect on the progress women have made in the labour movement, and to push us forward towards where we need to go.

PSAC has filed a policy grievance and unfair labour practice (ULP) complaint in response to the federal government’s unilateral implementation of the Early Retirement Incentive (ERI) program. 

While workforce adjustment and employment transition provisions in federal collective agreements are designed to limit the harm of job cuts for indeterminate employees, term employees face a different — and often more precarious — reality.  

PSAC is celebrating an important milestone in our human rights complaints on behalf of Black federal public service workers. The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) has referred PSAC's complaints on systemic anti-Black racism in the federal public service to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal for a full inquiry.

Being on leave when workforce adjustment or employment transition notices are distributed in your federal department, organization, or agency can present additional challenges, especially since you are away from the workplace.
