PSAC served notice to begin bargaining with Treasury Board on behalf of over 1,000 members of the Education and Library Science (EB) bargaining group on March 7. 

This marks the first step toward securing a new collective agreement that recognizes the critical services federal government workers responsible for education, education support, and library services deliver for Canada. The current EB collective agreement expires on June 30, 2025. 

Notice to bargain was previously served on February 22 for more than 125,000 federal public service workers across the country in the Program and Administrative Services (PA) and Technical Services (TC) bargaining groups.  

In the coming weeks, notice to bargain will also be served for over 11,000 members of the Operational Services (SV) bargaining group.
