USJE hosted an Indigenous Town Hall to hear the experiences of Indigenous-identified members working for the Correctional Service of Canada. Foremost were questions of identity, insufficient investments in the professional development of Indigenous and non-Indigenous employees, the availability of Indigenous-led programs and training as well as staff recruitment and retention.

Our Finance and Administration team is working diligently to process the USJE National Top Up for its members. We began processing payments Wednesday, May 24.

In order for PSAC members to receive their new rates of pay, retroactive pay, and lump sum payment, the new agreements must first be ratified. To ensure this ratification process is done as quickly as possible, PSAC will be conducting an expedited ratification process. 

As you know, the PSAC strike of 2023 was a labour action of historical proportions. Thank you for completing our 6-minute survey below. Your responses will help us to optimize our strike management model in the future.  

USJE is convening a National Virtual Townhall for Indigenous-identified employees on Thursday, May 18th at 8 p.m. ET with National President David Neufeld and National Vice President Lynette Robinson.

As you are no doubt aware, PSAC announced this morning that they have reached a tentative agreement for the more than 120,000 Treasury Board workers who deliver critical services to Canadians. The agreement will be subject to the vote of eligible PSAC members before being ratified.
