We’ve continued to make some progress in negotiations this week as PSAC members joined picket lines across the country to pressure the government for a fair contract.
However, there are several key issues still outstanding at the table, and talks will continue over the weekend for more than 155,000 workers at Treasury Board and Canada Revenue Agency in the hopes of reaching an agreement.
What’s up this weekend?
Wondering whether or not you need to sign into a picket this weekend?

How many steps does it take to reach a deal?
Members are out here wearing out their shoes and racking up those steps! We have seen step counts as high as 31,000 in one day, but the most important steps of all were the steps taken in Calgary’s soca line! Check it out here!

Thank you for the incredible show of solidarity out there this week! Together we’re doing something big, and by the looks of it having some fun while we’re at it.
We’re going to work hard to reach a fair deal for all PSAC members this weekend, but if the employer keeps dragging its feet we’ll let you know by Sunday evening if you need to report to the picket lines on Monday morning.
Keep an eye on your phone and our national website for updates.
Remember, the longer the line, the shorter the strike – solidarity forever!
