25th Anniversary of the Westray Mine Disaster

May 9, 2017 - 7:56am • New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador | Health and safety

Sisters and Brothers,

On May 9, 1992, an explosion at the Westray Mine in Pictou County, Nova Scotia killed 26 miners working underground.  It was one of the deadliest mining disasters in Canadian history and led to new Criminal Code provisions – known as the Westray Law – that made it possible to prosecute corporate criminal negligence.

You can find below information in regards to the event taking place on May 9 at the Westray Miners Memorial Park.

National Public Service Week 2017

May 8, 2017 - 12:29pm • New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador

Sisters and Brothers,

National Public Service Week (NPSW) will be held June 11-17, 2017.  The event marks the importance of federal public service employees and to recognizes their service to Canadians.  Because the employer cannot pay its employees on time and accurately, we are asking our members to boycott NPSW.

PSAC members proudly serve Canadians on a daily basis.  Our members deserve more than a piece of cake - if the employer wants to show their recognition for our members' valuable work; they should do that by paying them in full and on time.
