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.

After many weeks of no response, on Friday September 20th UCTE RVP Teresa Eschuk and PSAC REVP Marianne Hladun had a teleconference with Minister Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

Minister Bains was in Churchill, Manitoba to announce a $4.6 million investment in both short and long-term economic development for the community. 

Report of the Regional Executive Vice-President, Prairies to the National Board of Directors, submitted for the October 4-7, 2016 meeting. This report covers the period from the last NBoD meeting. 

Thank you to those who volunteered to be a part of the Convention Host Committee. As the deadline to join was October 21, 2016, we are no longer accepting volunteers for this opportunity. Thanks again for your interest.
