After nearly a year of negotiations with Treasury Board, we made the difficult decision to declare impasse for more than 120,000 of our members in the PA, SV, TC and EB groups. This week, we filed for conciliation with the federal labour board, and we’ll be ramping up our pressure on the government across the country this summer to reach a fair settlement quickly. Every round of bargaining matters, but this one is especially critical. So much has changed for our members over the past two years, and our collective agreements need to reflect that. We’ve seen how the pandemic has impacted the way we live and work, and now the cost of living is getting out of hand.

We are pleased to inform you that the PSAC Prairies staff have begun a gradual reopening of the Regional offices. While we are excited to open our doors once again, we wanted to communicate some of the processes and procedures which will be in place to ensure the health and safety of our staff, members, and guests at our offices. To this end, please read the following carefully to ensure compliance and as always, we are here to answer any questions.
