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 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.
For a second time, the Board has ruled the Bank of Canada broke the law and ordered the Bank to stop using scabs. This time, not only did the Bank continue using scabs, they hired a notorious anti-union security company, Pinkertons, to “replace” striking Bank of Canada workers.
On Canada’s Parks Day, we celebrate the natural and historic places that bring people together, and the workers who care for them, day in and day out.
PSAC has filed an unfair labour practice complaint following reports that the Bank of Canada continued to use “replacement workers” after they were mandated by the Board to stop using them.
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 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.

PSAC and Treasury Board today signed new collective agreements and the Phoenix deal.
PSAC is pleased to have negotiated a new Phoenix damages agreement which replaces five days of leave with a $2,500 lump sum payment.
In recent months, everyone has been overwhelmed by the changes in their work and home life because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In our regular communication with the government, we have received the following notice regarding the recovery of salary overpayments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
PSAC National President Chris Aylward made the following statement:
As the tax filing deadline quickly approaches, we know that Phoenix has made tax season extra stressful for many public service workers.
Much of what PSAC members have heard about Phoenix damages focuses on the gove
As the Phoenix pay disaster hits the four year mark, PSAC members across Canada are holding public protests to increase pressure for government action. Their demands are simple:
Aside from compensation for Phoenix damages, the impact of the Phoenix pay system is a central bargaining issue for each of PSAC’s federal public service bargaining units.
The federal government has announced the expansion of the Phoenix expense claims process to include an additional element to accept claims for severe financial hardship.
Last week, mediation between Treasury Board and PSAC ended without a tentative agreement as government representatives refused to make progress on PSAC’s key demands.
