Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) Prairies working for Sodexo, represented by Union of National Defence Employees (UNDE) Local 40807, are on strike at 15 Wing Moose Jaw following failed negotiations with the employer.  PSAC Prairies has been engaged in contract negotiations over the past year on behalf of 35 Sodexo employees at the base, including cooks, general help and maintenance staff.  After failed conciliation and the employer’s refusal to offer fair wages and benefits, workers have taken to the picket line.

After our PSAC-UTE bargaining team declared impasse in February, the Federal Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board (FPSLREB) set mediation dates. Our bargaining team met with the employer in mediation this week.

Our SV bargaining team met with the employer on April 29–30 and, after more than four months without responding to our economic proposal, Treasury Board finally provided their wage offer.
