The federal government wants to force employees to work in ill-equipped offices three days per week only to spend it on virtual meetings. But we know there’s a better way. The outlook for Canada’s public service is bright, and we’re ready to embrace a new future of work.
Are you ready to join us?
This isn’t just about where we work — it’s about our future, our well-being, and the kind of public service we want to build together.
Sign the petition
Public service workers have experienced firsthand the benefits of telework. It’s a proven model that enhances our work-life balance, productivity, and overall job satisfaction. Yet the Trudeau Liberal’s mandate threatens to undo all the progress we’ve made. So, we’re calling on you to take action.
Sign the petition to demand the government repeal the three-day in-office mandate and move to the promised case-by-case framework for telework, rather than the one-size-fits-none model they have committed to. We also want them to enshrine this policy into our collective agreements during the next round of bargaining.
We plan to organize an action to deliver this petition directly to government ministers and department leaders. If you’re ready to fight for telework and help shape the future of our workplace, let us know.
We’re not just signing a petition — we’re building a movement.
Sign the petition
If you’ve signed the petition and want to get involved in another way:
- Take a short survey: We want to hear about your personal experience with the in-office mandate and how you’re willing to fight back.
- File a grievance: Collectively filing thousands of individual grievances will hold Treasury Board accountable for violating the agreement on telework PSAC negotiated in the last round of bargaining and pressure them to respect their obligations under the agreement.
- Read our FAQs: We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about telework and the government’s in-office mandate.
- Share these actions: Start a dialogue on social media, encourage your coworkers to sign the petition or file a grievance, and continue making noise so the employer won’t be able to ignore us.
