This week, PSAC served notice to begin bargaining with Treasury Board on behalf of 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 12,000 members of the Operational Services (SV) and Education and Library Science (EB) bargaining groups. 

Members are united and mobilized heading into this round of bargaining on the heels of PSAC’s historic national strike in 2023. Over the past week, more than 200 Treasury Board members gathered at the national bargaining conference in Montreal to discuss members’ priorities and elect bargaining teams for the next round of negotiations. 

This marks the first step toward securing new collective agreements that recognize the critical services federal public service workers deliver for Canada.  

The current collective agreements expire on the following dates: 

• PA: June 20, 2025 
• TC: June 21, 2025 
• EB: June 30, 2025 
• SV: August 4, 2025 

Federal public service workers deliver essential public services that keep our country running — delivering vital programs like Employment Insurance and child care benefits, protecting our coasts and waterways, supporting our veterans, and keeping our communities safe.
