Hours of work and work-life balance were critical issues for the PSAC-UTE bargaining team during negotiations with Canada Revenue Agency, February 15-17. The team placed a strong emphasis on improved hours of work and remote work options for our members employed by CRA.
Our team has made proposals that would provide for better access to compressed work week options, provide enhanced notice when employees’ hours are changed, and ensure employees’ years of service count when decisions are made concerning evening work.

Nearly 75 per cent of PSAC members have been working remotely since the pandemic started, and more than 80 per cent want to continue having flexible work arrangements when the pandemic ends. What will our new normal look like? A lot depends on this round of bargaining with Treasury Board.

Black History Month is a time to honour and celebrate Black people’s past and present accomplishments, their contributions to Canadian society, and their ongoing struggle for equity.
