With major issues still on the bargaining table and seemingly little interest from the Employer in reaching a fair agreement, the five PSAC bargaining teams (FB, PA, TC, SV, and EB) have agreed to hold a National Day of Action on June 8, 2016 in the form of coast-to-coast lunch hour pickets. The CFIA bargaining team, CFIA members, and National Joint Council Unions will also be participating.
Our goal is to show visible support for the bargaining teams and make sure that the government, Treasury Board and all Employers, including CBSA, know that members are mobilized and expect more from them on issues such as 25 & Out, Sick leave, and Protection in the context of discipline.
CIU/PSAC encourages everyone to participate but recognizes the challenges associated with a lunch hour picket for shift working members. If it is not possible for you to attend a lunch time event being held at your work location, we invite you to wear your orange badge and be creative in showing support for your bargaining teams. No workplace is too big or too small to participate! Please contact your Branch President for more information regarding the Day of Action.
