This is the recording of a webinar delivered by PSAC BC providing a walk-through of the four-step framework for collective agreement article interpretation.  Facilitators examined sample articles from recently ratified collective agreements and asked: What entitlement or right does the Collective Agreement provision establish? Who has the right to this provision? What conditions need to be satisfied for the right to come into effect?

On November 26, 2020 the PSAC Education and PSAC Social Justice Fund presented the webinar “Worker Solidarity in Action: Stories from Guatemala”.

Returning to Work & Covid-19; Family and Health Barriers Are you or someone in your household at high-risk if you contract Covid-19? Do you have child or elder care obligations that you’re concerned about meeting because of Covid-19? Are you worried about how you will balance work and family?

We will talk about some of the challenges in work refusals for ‘invisible’ dangers like COVID-19, and answer participant’s questions about work refusals.
