National Public Service Week will be held from June 15 to 21, 2014.  Once again we are boycotting any participation.  We are asking that you do not take any role in the employer’s organizing committees as the employer may be approaching you shortly.

Public Service Week should be about highlighting the importance of federal public service employees and recognizing our service to Canadian society.

Your bargaining team has started the bargaining process.  We met with the employer for four days last week.  We will be working to improve and strengthen your collective agreement.  Here is a short summary of the issues that your union has put on the table:

PSAC members who work for Parks Canada will meet in Ottawa from April 4-6. They will elect members to represent them in the next round of collective bargaining with their employer. They will also discuss the pressing issues that affect them in their day-to-day work and the improvements they want to see in their next contract.

Premier McNeil,

I’m writing to you on behalf of 7200 PSAC members in Nova Scotia.  We are deeply concerned and outraged by the actions of your government with the introduction of Bill 37 (essential services act). 

Cape Breton veterans will never forget how they battled on bloody fields and watched their buddies die. But they fear their government has.
