Sent on behalf of the PSAC Local 22000 Executive Hello members of PSAC Local 22000,

Sent on behalf of the PSAC Local 22000 Executive Hello members of PSAC Local 22000, Please join us for a short meeting next week for updates on our collective agreement bargaining with guest speaker, Erna Post, PSAC BC Regional Negotiator.  Wednesday, Feb 3rd, 12:00-12:30 pm

After delays caused by the pandemic as well as the employer's unwillingness to commit to meeting dates, bargaining for PSAC members working at First Nations Health Authority commenced in mid-December. 

Grievance timelines are one of the most important elements of problem solving. To avoid running the risk of missing an important grievance milestone, we have prepared some grievance time line flowcharts for many of the bargaining units we have in BC. Last updated August 2019.

Activists representing PSAC’s Directly Chartered Locals (DCLs) gathered in Montreal from November 2 - 4 to discuss strategies to build membership strength and win better working conditions for their members.  Directly Chartered Locals have been part of the PSAC for more than 20 years.  Over 30,000 members are represented by these locals.

Musqueam Territory – Vancouver, British Columbia – The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) and Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) have celebrated the renewal of their collective agreement after several months of negotiations. The official signing ceremony to renew the FNHA PSAC collective agreement took place at the Musqueam Cultural Centre and included senior leadership and representatives from the FNHA and PSAC. All negotiations for the agreement took place on First Nations territory and incorporated Elders supporting the work with prayer, wisdom and input.

PSAC is happy to announce that a new collective agreement has been ratified by the members of Local 22000, working at the First Nations Health Authority in British Columbia. The new contract, which expires in March 2020, contains a wage increase of 6% over three years, improvements to bereavement leave, parental leave, and overtime provisions as well as clearer language around harassment and discrimination and an amendment to health and safety provisions that promotes psychological safety in the workplace.
