After a brief hiatus, the highly successful PSAC-PSHRMAC Joint Learning Program is back! The initiative resulted from the collective bargaining in the fall of 2004 and over $8M was dedicated to the Joint Learning Program (JLP) to fund learning activities, designed and delivered jointly by union and management. It highlights how bargaining agents and the employer can work together to modernize and improve relations in the workplace. Click for more information about the Joint Learning Program.

JLP Developments

Here is some information on the status of the JLP and some next steps.

The JLP was first negotiated with Treasury Board in 2001, and was forced to shut down in 2004 with the expiry of the collective agreements. The PSAC was successful in re-negotiating the JLP in 2004, this time with ‘bridging funding’ to cover the period from the expiry of the current collective agreements to the conclusion of the next ones. What that means is there won’t be a complete shut-down in between bargaining rounds.
