Today, approximately 800,000 US federal public service workers will not get paid because of President Trump’s forced, and reckless government shutdown. PSAC President Chris Aylward extended our Union’s solidarity with all Americans during this difficult crisis.

Dear President Cox,
October 1, 2018
We live, work, and play in the National Capital Region. We expect to be safe.
Several government heating plants provide heat through miles and miles of tunnels, that are under our feet right now, to nearly 100 buildings in the area.
The federal government wants corporations that are only looking to turn a profit – including those with a reputation of corruption and mismanagement – to take over those heating plants. This is reckless and could threaten your safety.

PSAC-CIU has successfully challenged a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) decision that prevented Border Service Officers from showing solidarity with their bargaining team.
In the fall of 2017, the officers began wearing orange shoelaces at work to demonstrate support for their bargaining team. Tensions developed when employees started to wear them as hair ties and bracelets, as well as lanyards. CBSA responded by barring the officers from wearing the shoelaces anywhere but on their shoes.
