USJE was recognized for its podcast as the best labour podcast in Canada and our KeepingCanadiansSafe.ca website redesign under 15K.

USJE National President David Neufeld joined NCR Regional Vice-Presidents JP Surette and Sonia O’Brien-Colterman on the Bank of Canada picket line today to serve lunch and show solidarity with security guards who are currently on strike. 

On July 6, the date when mandated return to office four days a week came into effect, USJE and PSAC members took action at several Correctional Service of Canada sites to denounce a policy that they feel is unjustified and disconnected from the situation in the field. This mobilization followed other actions held in previous weeks, in particular on June 23 at the Guy-Favreau complex, where members from the Parole Board of Canada (PBC) and Justice Canada gathered along with the Regional Vice-President for Quebec (RCMP-Justice-PPSC-CSC Community-PBC), Annie Blanchette.  

Members of USJE Local 30250 at Calgary Parole came together on July 6 for a Stampede pancake breakfast as the federal government’s four-day return-to-office mandate (RTO4) takes effect. While the event provided an opportunity for members to connect and show solidarity, discussions focused on the very real concerns many public service workers continue to have about the mandate. 

All USJE members who received an Affected notice from the Correctional Service of Canada during the week of June 22nd, are invited to an important Virtual Information Session. USJE’s National President David Neufeld, USJE's Director of Labour Relations, Melanie Crescenzi and a PSAC expert on Workforce Adjustment will be on the call.

USJE is proud to announce that four USJE members were elected to positions on the PSAC Atlantic Regional Council into five positions, total!
