At the crack of dawn, members from all Components within the PSAC family joined picket lines at a variety of federal workplaces across Canada.
We are so proud that USJE’s members answered the call to join their fellow union members on the picket lines from coast to coast to coast.
Many members have received messaging from their managers that they need to “check in” daily during a strike, by phone, email, text, or other means. You do not need to do so!
Three years ago, the worst mass shooting incident in the history of our country claimed the lives of 22 innocent people in Nova Scotia, and deeply affected thousands more.
Picket lines will go up across the country April 19 as more than 155,000 Public Service Alliance of Canada members working for Treasury Board and Canada Revenue Agency begin strike action.
This morning, PSAC announced that if there is no deal reached by 9 p.m. ET tomorrow, April 18, we will launch a national general strike beginning at 12:01 AM ET Wednesday, April 19 for all our 155,000 PSAC members working for both CRA and Treasury Board.
Under the legislation, we have 60 days to call a strike following a favourable strike vote — meaning a strike could be called anytime between now and June 10.
USJE and PSAC have filed an Unfair Labour Practice complaint with the FPSLREB, alleging that CSIS’ actions are in violation of the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act.
In order to guarantee your right to the reassessment, as we recommended in our previous updates, we urge all those who received general damages for Phoenix to file an objection before the end of April 2023.
USJE Members shared resoundingly that hybrid working environments are better for their work/life balance and thus are better for their mental and physical health. Members were clear that hybrid work leads to less distractions and more productivity, with the option of face-to-face meetings on office days.
At an awards ceremony on March 27, 2023, six USJE members took centre stage in Ottawa to represent our union and the hard work our members accomplish.
