Is PIPSC the right union to represent you and your colleagues?
Different unions specialize in different types of workers or workplaces. PIPSC represents public service professionals such as scientists, engineers, auditors, nurses and IT professionals.
Public service professionals can work for all levels of government: federal, provincial or territorial, municipal or government-owned organizations such as hospitals, power plants or municipal corporation
