Bargaining

Our FB members were vocal in support of their bargaining in Saint John, NB on January 7th, 2020.

PSAC members in New Brunswick dressed in black on December 4th to mark the first hearing date of the PIC. Once the PIC releases its reports for the various PSAC units, the union’s respective bargaining teams will meet to discuss the recommendations.  Traditionally, following this, PSAC’s teams and government representatives have returned to the table to resume negotiations. We expect the PIC reports to be issued in 2020.

Members participating in last weekend's federal election training in Sydney took a moment to support the members of the PA Table who were in the middle of negotiations with the Treasury Board.
