Purolator Bargaining Update #5: Had a productive week, looking ahead to June

May 21, 2013 - 9:19am • Bargaining

Last week (May 13-17) your bargaining team held some productive discussions negotiating with Purolator Inc. For the majority of the week, the parties addressed non-monetary issues.

We came to an agreement on a number of issues, some related to:

  • site harmonization
  • layoffs and recall

We also made some general housekeeping changes that will make the collective agreement easier to understand.

We are also engaged in bargaining collective agreements that meet the particular needs of our GLBT members. And we continue to work to better protect the human rights of transgendered people.

The following verse was written by Sherry Hunt, a PSAC member of Agriculture Local 30048 in Lethbridge.

Boycott public service week: Don't celebrate service cuts

May 16, 2013 - 1:10pm • Political Action

National Public Service Week will be held from June 9 to 15, 2013.  This event marks the importance of federal public service employees and recognizes their service to Canadian society.  We find it an insult to our members and to our union that the employer promotes this event while the government of Canada continues its assault on federal public services and public service delivery.  Our members have received and continue to receive affected/surplus notices, and are being offered a piece of cake and a cup of coffee to wash it down.
