Copies of the ratification kit will be available and members of the bargaining team will make a presentation and answer questions at the meetings.

Following more than six months of frustrating talks and delays by the government, PSAC bargaining teams representing 90,000 members finally received some responses to the union’s proposals this past week. The government’s small movements were a noticeable change from previous meetings but they fell significantly short of the progress needed at the table.
