Many members will be retiring in the coming years. Are you one of them? If so, you may want to attend a Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) retirement planning session. These sessions are very relevant and timely, as they provide an overview of the financial landscape you will encounter in retirement.
Dear Members,
As many of you are aware, your WTEG & WPEG negotiating committee is very close to entering into conciliation with the employer and is trying its best to secure a contract that balances both a good work life & personal life for all the members in WTEG and WPEG.
In support, to show that our work and personal life should be balanced, we ask for your help this week, prior to the scheduled conciliation meetings on September 19-21 (Wed-Fri), by wearing the T-shirts that have been handed out to you.
PIPSC is pleased to announce the re-formation of the South Vancouver Island (SVI) AV Subgroup.
Our 1st Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled for the ratification of the subgroup bylaws and to hold the election for the executive.

On August 20, Treasury Board initiated its process of soliciting feedback from employees of the Federal Government about their engagement, leadership, workforce, workplace, workplace well-being, and more, through the Public Service Employee Survey (PSES). At the unions’ request, it also asks a few questions about pay problems resulting from Phoenix.
Because the Institute believes firmly that informed data should be used to effect change, we support full participation by our members in the 2018 PSES.
The survey is being conducted from August 20 to September 28, 2018, and is being administered by Advanis, on behalf of the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board of Canada. Responses will be treated in a confidential manner.
More information about the 2018 PSES: https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/innovation/public-service-employee-survey/2018/2018-about-public-service-employee-survey.html
The Bargaining Survey site has closed and we are analyzing your submissions. Every submission will be kept confidential.
The winner of the draw for a NR marked raincoat is Helen Tsai, a P.Eng. with the Transportation Safety Board.
