On October 21, USJE Members from coast to coast joined PSAC’s monthly Day of Solidarity by wearing black in support of Treasury Board bargaining teams. 

Over the past 15 months, USJE has been regularly advocating for CSC to examine how it administers its RTW and accommodation processes and to ensure that it has consistent practices across the country.

PSAC announced nationwide strike votes today for 120,000 federal public service workers in response to Treasury Board’s insulting wage proposal, push for concessions, and refusal to address critical workplace issues. 

On Friday, October 16th, USJE President David Neufeld and Regional Vice President (RVP) Jeff Sandelli [CSC Community – PBC (West)] met with federal Deputy Minister of Labour, Rob Wright and senior colleagues from the Ministry of Labour. 

Despite the cold on the morning of October 19, members of Local 10003 at Donnacona, in collaboration with the Québec district of PSAC, held an information picket for members.
