Have your say on informal conflict management systems at work

Equality - Égalité

During the last round of negotiations, the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the Treasury Board negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding to create a Joint Committee which would take an inventory of the trainings related to employment equity, diversity and inclusion and review the existing informal conflict management systems (ICMS) available to federal public service employees.

We have prepared this survey specifically to better understand the experiences and needs of PSAC members about ICMS in the federal public service. Members who would like to answer have until August 9, 2024.

By sharing your honest feedback, you’ll help the Joint Committee understand the effectiveness and shortcomings of the current system.

2021 PSAC National Equity Conferences: Justice, equity, diversity and inclusion a priority for CIU delegates

The Customs and Immigration Union is proud of the work accomplished by its delegates at the 2021 PSAC National Equity Conferences, which took place from November 23 to November 28, 2021. With a focus on justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, CIU members were active within all four conferences — Indigenous, Racially visible, Pride, and Access — and, through sustained mobilization and engagement with delegates from other components and directly-chartered locals, played a key role in passing important resolutions to be sent to the 2022 PSAC Triennial Convention.

A total of eight delegates (two from each group) were elected to attend the 2022 PSAC Triennial Convention, with two CIU members amongst them: Sister Brea Baresinkoff as a delegate for the Access group, and Sister Tamara Lopez for the Pride group. This follows the election — earlier this year at the PSAC Women’s Conference — of Sister Karen Sutton as a delegate for the Women’s group, ensuring a strong representation from CIU within equity groups at next year’s PSAC Convention.

For more information, or for any questions about equity matters, please contact the CIU national Human Rights Representative, Murray Star.
