On March 6, just over four years after the roll out of the disastrous Phoenix payroll system, 250 PSAC members and allies rallied in Victoria to increase the pressure for government action at the bargaining table and on the disastrous Phoenix pay system.
Chris Aylward, PSAC national president joined with members to rally outside the CPP-OAS office on Government Street, demanding the government stop dragging its feet and come to the bargaining table prepared to negotiate new collective agreements which include fair wage increases, decent working conditions and a Phoenix settlement that is fair and equal.
