Remote work
After an historic strike in 2023, PSAC fought and won a commitment from the government on remote work. That Letter of Agreement on Telework was critical to ending the strike for the PA, SV, TC, and EB units.
However, the government continues to ignore evidence and disrespect workers by making unilateral changes to remote work instead of discussing it at the bargaining table. Overwhelming evidence shows that remote work improves work-life balance, saves taxpayers money, decreases traffic and pollution, and increases productivity. Amid widespread public service cuts, it makes no sense to eliminate measures that save money and increase effciency.
Every worker’s job and situation are unique, and a cookie cutter approach to remote work can’t be applied to the public service. This is not about a specific number of days in-office; this is about pushing to repeal the one-size-fits-none mandate and that each remote work request be reviewed on their own merit based on operational and employee needs.
