LEAD+ is a bold new 8‑month hybrid leadership program created by and for women and racialized PSAC members. It is a space to grow your voice, your power, and your connections. 

Virtual townhalls for PSAC members in the PA, SV, TC, and EB groups will be held throughout July to discuss the current status of negotiations for each group and what to expect moving forward.

On June 21, we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day by honouring the cultures, achievements, and leadership of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. It is also a time to reflect on how we advance reconciliation in our workplaces, our union, and our communities. 

PSAC and the Customs and Immigration Union (CIU) have officially launched a new round of negotiations with Treasury Board and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) as part of the ongoing fight to make CBSA a better place to work for more than 9,000 PSAC-CIU members in the FB Group. 

Our SV bargaining team met with the employer June 9-10 and continued to push for proposals that recognize the realities of our work and the priorities members have set for this round. While we put additional effort into refining and explaining our proposals, we made it clear that we will not accept concessions that undermine those priorities. 

The federal government has unveiled its national strategy on artificial intelligence, committing over $2 billion in funding. But Prime Minister Carney’s strategy is silent on what workers actually need: guarantees AI won’t replace workers, surveillance protections, and public accountability. 

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 PA bargaining group.
