We know from the experience of many members, including those involved in the Black and Indigenous class action lawsuits, that workers from equity groups consistently get left behind. Collective bargaining is one of our best tools to create fair work environments for all employees. That’s why we need to make sure our demands explicitly focus on equity, especially given the broader context of systemic discrimination based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation and other identities.

Les négociations au fédéral font défaut. Il faut régler ça.

Federal bargaining is broken. It’s time to fix it.
PSAC members who work for the federal government often ask us why it takes so long to negotiate each collective agreement. In other jurisdictions, it takes months, not years, to reach a deal. They ask why they can’t strike when bargaining breaks down but must wait months to apply that pressure. When grievances go to adjudication, why does it take so long to be heard and to get decisions?

Lettre du président: l’AFPC gagne en force pour affronter l’avenir
Les dernières années ont été difficiles pour la main-d’œuvre canadienne. La pandémie a bouleversé le monde du travail et poussé bien des gens à leurs limites. Aujourd’hui, elle est à blâmer pour la hausse alarmante du coût de la nourriture et des prix à la pompe, et bien des familles peinent à joindre les deux bouts.

The victories that make us stronger
Much has been gained for workers in the last few years. With most of our members currently bargaining for better working conditions and pay, we want to highlight the power of mobilization and political action in securing major wins for PSAC’s membership.
