Over forty PSAC sisters attended the Vancouver Regional Women’s Committee International Women’s Day celebration and meeting in Vancouver, March 8th. Participants heard short presentations from Janet Routledge, NDP candidate in North Burnaby and former PSAC staff member; Joanne Hay, Union of Postal Communications Employees National Executive Officer; and Jennifer Chieh Ho and Kelly Sidhu, PSAC BC Regional Council members. They all spoke about the solidarity and support they get from fellow PSAC members every day, and how much it helps in their work with our union.

On Friday, February 24, PSAC will mark the first anniversary of Phoenix. We want to continue to draw attention to the Phoenix pay system and its problems and send a strong message to the Prime Minister and MPs that our members have been waiting for too long; fix the Phoenix pay problems and learn from your mistakes! Here are some ideas for how PSAC members can send a strong message to the government and our employers on February 24th.
