Take a little time to talk to your union

Starting August 17, almost 5,000 PSAC members in the Treasury Board, Parks Canada, Canada Revenue Agency and Canadian Food Inspection Agency bargaining units will be getting a call at home from their union.The union has prepared a survey that will be conducted by the Environics Research Group, asking members about bargaining issues and their priorities. The survey will help the union prepare its negotiating and political strategy for the next round of bargaining for these units.
Over the last several weeks, the survey has been tested in a series of focus groups involving about 80 rank and file and activist members. Now it’s ready to go.
If you are one of the members called by Environics, we hope you’ll participate. Individual information is completely confidential and at no time will the opinions of individual members be identified.
If you participate in the survey, consider sharing the experience with others in your Local and conduct your own mini-survey to find out what other members see as bargaining concerns and priorities. It’s never too early to get ready for the next round of negotiations
