January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marking 81 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp. It is a day to remember the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust and to honour the survivors whose lives and voices carry this history forward.

Our SV bargaining team returned to the table with Treasury Board on January 21–22, pressing the employer for responses to some of our key proposals. What we heard was a resounding no on some of the issues that matter most to members.
