PSAC supports returning Moncton water services to public control

The situation at the Moncton Water Treatment Plant, one of contracting-out of government jobs, needs our full attention. As a public sector union, we always oppose the privatization of government services and actively support reintegrating those that have been privatized back into the public sector.

PSAC Convention resolutions

Congratulations to members of UCTE Local 90901 who ratified their new collective agreement! The 5-year contract which will expire in April 2023 includes wage increases for every year of the agreement, an increase in RRSP contributions and other improvements. Once again, congratulations to the bargaining team and the union membership!

The Union of Postal Communications Employees (UPCE) Local 80823 is comprised of 14 members who work for Canada Post Corporation – National Philatelic Centre in Antigonish Nova Scotia.  The National Philatelic Centre (NPC) opened in 1984 and at the time, employed approximately 120 workers.  At the opening of the NPC and until 2011, the center was the ONLY Philatelic Centre in Canada, and the members provided customer service support to Philatelists who are collectors or studiers of postage stamps that are issued by Canada Post.
