With the PA bargaining team continuing mediation with Treasury Board this week, and strike votes kicking off next week for members in the PA, TC, and EB bargaining groups, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Treasury Board needs to see that PSAC members across the country are organized, engaged, and ready to fight for a fair contract.
Next Wednesday, November 18, let’s use our monthly Day of Solidarity to show our collective strength, support our bargaining teams, and ensure our coworkers are registered and ready to vote.
I’m in!
How to take action on November 18:
- Wear black to your workplace or during virtual meetings to visibly show our nationwide solidarity.
- Talk to your coworkers about strike votes and encourage them to attend an in-person info session and cast their ballot.
- Show your support by putting up a poster at your desk or using a virtual background on video calls.
- Connect with your PSAC regional office to learn about upcoming events and actions.
- Send an email to your MP urging them to demand a fair deal for federal public service workers.
Show up for your bargaining team next Wednesday, attend a strike vote info session, and stay strong as we continue to fight for fair wages, remote work rights, and job security
Solidarity from SV members
Even though SV members aren’t participating in strike votes, your solidarity on November 18 is vital to building our collective leverage as we push back against Treasury Board’s demands for more managerial control and insulting wage offer.
With SV bargaining dates set for December 1–3, showing the employer that our bargaining team has our support now gives us the power to push for a better deal before an arbitrator gets involved.
Wear black on Wednesday and show the employer that all of our Treasury Board bargaining groups are in this together, united as one union, in the fight for a fair agreement.
