Our TC bargaining team continues to strongly advocate for our fishery, wildlife and environmental enforcement officers, and the critical work they perform.  

After years of review and negotiations, federal public service unions including PSAC have secured meaningful improvements to the National Joint Council (NJC) Travel Directive that better reflect the real costs and realities of work-related travel. 

The Technical Services (TC) bargaining team focused most of their time on compensation when they returned to the bargaining table with the Treasury Board on December 10–11.   

As the government moves ahead with plans to cut tens of thousands of federal public service jobs, Treasury Board has tabled a proposal that would strip workers of the power to negotiate improvements to the workforce adjustment process. 

Bargaining teams for the PA, SV, TC and EB groups are heading back to the table this month for their first meetings with the employer — talks that will set the tone for the months ahead as we negotiate new contracts for more than 120,000 federal public service workers. 

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.
