The minority government of the day presents … It creeps, it slashes with a smile, and it devours public services …
The fight continues at the bargaining table to win protections against contracting out and privatization, starring members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, featuring members working at Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Parks Canada Agency, and Treasury Board.
Share your own horror stories of privatization, contracting out and wage disparity with us. Email them in text or video to communications@psac-afpc.com. All video entries will be considered for the PSAC video contest, and the best stories will be featured in future issues of Our Union Voice.
Think Public and support your bargaining team!
This Hallowe’en members shared candy and the latest information on bargaining throughout the province.
In Victoria Locals got together and made candy bags containing chocolate eyeballs, lollipops, the latest bargaining flyer, bracelets and tattoos. A costume contest was also held, and we have some photos …
In the Metro Vancouver area members in costume distributed information to about 200 members of CEIU Local 20944 and NAT Local 20089. Here are some photos …
In Nelson members at the Service Canada office dressed up and sent a cartoon message to Treasury Board - A joker with the caption “If the PSAC expect to play against the JOKER they had best be prepared to be dealt from the bottom of the deck.”
In Nanaimo Area Strike Coordinators Patricia Lamont and Christine Walker brought awareness to collective bargaining issues by presenting their version of “Nightmare on Front Street” to 60 Front Street in Nanaimo BC which houses several federal components. Members were asked to fly their balloons at their workstations to bring to the employer’s attention that this is the second year of this event. More treats than tricks were handed out to the members and in order to get access to their treats, they had to read the timely message with “PRIVATIZATION” as its key theme.
