National Public Service Week
Every June, the Government of Canada marks National Public Service week. On the occasion of this year’s National Public Service Week, the Union of Safety and Justice Employees (alongside other components of the Public Service Alliance of Canada) are celebrating the invaluable work that federal public service employees undertake every day for the safety and security of Canadians.
USJE Community Investment Initiative
The Union of Safety and Justice Employees would like to partner with a local community organization in your area, to fund a project that improves public safety.

Please submit your application form no later than July 5, 2024.
Disability Insurance for USJE Members
Since July 1, 2023, health insurance benefits for USJE members and their dependents are provided by Canada Life.
However, it is important to remember that this move to Canada Life does not include Disability Insurance which remains with SunLife.
The Disability Insurance Plan is available to employees of the federal public service who are represented by bargaining agents. The Plan is designed to replace a portion of lost income if you become “totally disabled” for a prolonged period.

Donation to UNDE NPF Members
On May 28, 2024, during PSAC’s National Triennial Convention, a solidarity demonstration took place during the lunch hour in support of Québec’s Non-Public Funds workers who have now been on strike for 135 days. USJE pledged $5,000 in support to those members who are part of the Union of National Defence Employees (UNDE).
