7. Guest Speaker: Lynn Ohlson - National SH Executive President

-           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.
