Over 60 PSAC members representing more than 10,000 workers in the Technical Services (TC) group from across Canada gathered for the Treasury Board National Bargaining Conference February 19-23 in Montreal to discuss key priorities and elect their bargaining team for the upcoming round of negotiations with Treasury Board. 

At the conference, TC group delegates discussed important workplace issues affecting members from various government departments and agencies. They reviewed the proposals received from members, shared their experiences, and provided insights on improving working conditions for all TC members. Delegates worked together, drawing from the diverse experiences and challenges facing members across occupational groups. 

Key bargaining issues included better work-life balance and leaves, job security, working conditions including remote work and flexible workplace arrangements, overtime, fair pay that reflects the work performed, and parity for TC group enforcement officers.     

Delegates left united with a renewed energy, ready to build on the gains made in the previous round.  

Next steps 

As the current collective agreement for the TC group is set to expire on June 21, 2025, PSAC has served notice to begin bargaining with the employer. 

The bargaining team will be meeting soon to prepare the TC group’s package of demands.
