Public Service Alliance of Canada BC

The PSAC has advised its Components with members in Treasury Board bargaining units and/or in the Parks Canada unit that November 30, 2006 is the deadline for providing proposals for bargaining demands for the next round of negotiations.

The union has also mailed a copy of a new Program of Demands document to each Local/Branch President in these bargaining units. It is also available on this web site. The document has been developed to facilitate the work of the Locals/Branches. It includes a general list of wage and non-wage bargaining demands for consideration.

• Download the Program of Demands documents at the national website.

Each Component will be sending an input call to its Locals/Branches giving them a deadline to provide their proposals. The Program of Demands document provides instructions about how to respond to this input call, as well as information about using the input forms and what makes a good bargaining demand.

All suggestions for bargaining demands must be channeled through your Component. Members are asked to contact their Local/Branch to find out when a meeting is taking place to discuss proposals for bargaining demands. This will be your opportunity to provide your input. Meetings are expected to take place in September and October but check with your Local executive for more specific information.

Once they have held their meetings, Locals/Branches send their input to the Component. No proposals for demands should be sent directly to the PSAC.
