– Lynn provided an update on bargaining, that we have exchanged proposals as the CA
has expired as of September 2022
– Lynn spoke to the general economic increase (GEI) that should be considered when
looking at rates of pay
– Should we not be able to come to an agreement, we are unable to strike, but would
instead utilize the process of arbitration to reach a decision
– PSAC is currently in a strike position as they are far apart from the treasury board in
terms of what both sides believe to be fair
– Lynn spoke to our rights and responsibilities in a PSAC strike, noting that it is the
employer’s responsibility to get staff across the picket line. We are encouraged to
support in any way we can: read material, honk while passing workers, bring coffee or
donuts for those on the picket line etc.
– Lynn spoke to different meetings that are upcoming in the SH group: President’s
meeting, Prairie Regional Council, PIPSC AGM, etc.
