More than 500 Civilian Military workers went on strike on Monday, January 15 to fight for what they deserve – fair wages, a national pay grid, and secure jobs. These workers are the staff of the Non-Public Funds (NPF) and members of the Public Service Alliance and the Union of National Defence Employees (PSAC-UNDE).
PIPSC stands in solidarity with our civilian military peers striking in the National Capital Region, Ontario, and Quebec.
We know when we show up and stand up for each other, we can help our peers achieve a fair deal. So, we encourage PIPSC members to do their part and stand in solidarity with our friends striking at PSAC-UNDE.
During your unpaid breaks and outside of your working hours, you can show support by joining one of the picket lines located in front of the bases and offices of the striking groups.

Although the Staff of the Non-Public Funds (NPF) provide vital programs and services to Canadian Forces members, veterans, and their families, they are some of the lowest-paid workers in the federal public service. Their pay grids are inconsistent, and to keep up with inflation and the rising cost of living, many NPF members have to take on second jobs to make ends meet. They deserve better.
