Treasury Board is still refusing to move on the issues that matter most: your pay, your job, and your rights at work. Members who know what’s at stake and are ready to speak up can make a big difference.  

PSAC’s bargaining backgrounders break down each key issue, so you can have conversations with your coworkers and build the pressure we need to win a fair deal. 

Five issues the employer won’t move on 

• Fair wages, not pay cuts: Treasury Board’s offer averages less than 1% per year. With costs continuing to climb, that’s a pay cut. We need raises that keep pace with the cost of living. 
   
• Stronger job security: Nearly 15,000 members have received WFA notices. We’re fighting for seniority-based rules, expanded retraining allowances, and an end to wasteful contracting out. 
   
• Strict AI guardrails: We’re fighting for language that bans automated systems from making hiring or discipline decisions, stops intrusive surveillance, and guarantees training and human oversight. 
   
• Remote work: Clear rules, fair case-by-case assessments, and protection from arbitrary management decisions. 
   
• Reproductive health support: No one should risk their income or dignity to manage their health. We’re fighting for paid leave for reproductive health needs, flexible scheduling, and dedicated paid leave for end of pregnancy.
