After the employer made unilateral changes to their Hybrid Workplace Practice, changing the rules around workers’ ability to work remotely, PSAC will be filing a bad faith bargaining complaint on behalf of over 1,500 PSAC members at Canada Post currently negotiating a new collective agreement.

On July 19, 2024, Canada Post management informed union members that changes were being made to the employer’s hybrid workplace model. Starting October 15, all employees will be required to work from their official work location at least two days per week.

Each year, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives partners with experts from across the country, including researchers at PSAC, to create the Alternative Federal Budget.

The team remains committed to winning a new collective agreement that addresses key issues identified by the membership, including wages that keep up with the cost of living; better work-life balance; and improvements to collective agreement language around telework, leave, and job security.

September 18 marks International Equal Pay Day. On this day, we recognize the strides this country has made towards pay equity, but also highlight the important work that remains to be done.  

In Canada, women earn 89 cents for every dollar earned by men for work of equal value. For Indigenous women, racialized women, and women with disabilities, it’s even less.  Gender equality will not be achieved without pay equity.
