A message from PSAC President, Chris Aylward

This year’s National Public Service Week (NPSW), being held between June 9 and 15, is happening while 140,000 PSAC members are fighting to reach fair collective agreements and proper compensation for the Phoenix disaster.

The report made one thing clear: the government’s meagre offer to compensate our members for their many Phoenix damages is unacceptable.

PSAC President Chris Aylward issued the following statement

Last month, PSAC raised concerns that the money the government had earmarked for Phoenix-related costs in the 2019 Budget was well below what is required. In a recent meeting of the Senate Financial Committee on National Finance that analysis was confirmed.
