PA bargaining: We need your support and solidarity as bargaining heats up 

Our PA bargaining team is heading back to the table with Treasury Board and a third-party mediator on September 21–22 and 29–30. 

Treasury Board continues to push concessions and an insulting wage offer that doesn’t keep up with the cost of living. PA members keep critical government programs running every day and deserve respect. Let's show Treasury Board we’re united in the fight for a fair deal.  

Send an email to your MP right now to demand they pressure the government to come to the table with a fair contract that respects federal public service workers. It takes less than two minutes and can create the political pressure we need to move the needle.

What are we fighting for? 

Our bargaining team is committed to securing a fair contract and will continue pushing for improvements on key member priorities, including: 

  • Fair wages: Rejecting an insulting wage offer that amounts to a pay cut during a cost-of-living crisis. 
  • Job security: Protecting members against job cuts as nearly 15,000 PSAC members have received workforce adjustment notices — over 70% of whom are women. 
  • Remote work: Securing clear, enforceable protections in our collective agreement. 
  • AI guardrails: Establishing strict protections around artificial intelligence and workplace surveillance. 
  • Improved leave: Pushing for improved leave provisions and reproductive health supports. 
  • Mental health and safety: Winning enforceable language on workload, alongside mental health support and stress reduction measures for frontline and call centre workers.
