Bargaining

Robyn Benson, National President of PSAC, has written to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking him to address the delay on the government’s part in signing four collective agreements. These agreements cover the working conditions of over 85,000 PSAC members who work in the federal public services.

Following the recent ratification of new agreements by the PA, SV, TC and EB Treasury Board groups, the following steps will be taken: Signing of new collective agreements; Retro pay and implementation of wage and special monetary increases; Implementation of collective agreement provisions.

PSAC’s Directly Chartered Local members working at the University of Winnipeg have reason to celebrate. After 18 months of bargaining, the Manitoba Labour Board issued a decision on a one-year collective agreement, which includes major wins for the union and its members. This is the first ever collective agreement for student workers in the academic capacity on campus, including markers, teaching assistants, lab demonstrators, and tutors.

TREASURY BOARD BARGAINING UPDATES The PSAC Edmonton Regional Office is holding a number of meetings to update members on Treasury Board Bargaining. Do you:  Wonder why collective agreements are taking so long to negotiate?  Have questions on bargaining?  Want to know what you can do to help move the process along? Come to one of the Treasury Board Bargaining update meeting.

The federal government promised that all of the remaining cases of the Phoenix pay system would be resolved by October 31, 2016. Now, we've received confirmation that the October 31 deadline will not be met. PSAC will hold a National Day of Action on October 31 to remind the government of this promise and to demand that our members who have been affected be fully compensated.
