After years of review and negotiations, federal public service unions including PSAC have secured meaningful improvements to the National Joint Council (NJC) Travel Directive that better reflect the real costs and realities of work-related travel. 

Our PA bargaining team last met with Treasury Board on January 21–22, with the employer refusing to discuss most of our key proposals. After last week’s announcement of changes to work conditions while we are in bargaining, our PA team has made the decision to declare impasse as the employer refuses to bargain in good faith.  

As negotiations kicked off on January 28 to 29, our Parks Canada bargaining team made proposals to secure stronger job security, fair wages, better work–life balance, and equal treatment with the core public service. 

The NAV CANADA bargaining unit consists of almost 300 PSAC-UCTE members. The collective agreement expired in December 2023. 

Our PA bargaining team returned to the table with Treasury Board on January 21–22, pressing the employer for responses to some of our key proposals. What we heard was a resounding no on some of the issues that matter most to members.

Our EB bargaining team returned to the table with Treasury Board on January 21–22, pressing the employer for responses to some of our key proposals. The employer insisted on speaking in generalities, while invoking austerity measures, management rights, government policies, and the broader fiscal plan as tools to dismiss the urgency of our proposals. 

Our TC bargaining team met on January 20 and returned to the bargaining table with Treasury Board on January 21–22, 2026, to advance members’ priorities.
