The news that Canada’s largest private-sector union, Unifor, has decided to withdraw its membership from the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) has taken many by surprise.
PIPSC believes that Canada’s labour movement is always stronger together. We remain firm affiliates of the Canadian Labour Congress and will continue to work with other unions for the benefit of our own members and for all Canadian workers.
We also remain hopeful that a resolution that would allow Unifor to return to the CLC can soon be reached.
We will continue to monitor the current situation closely and communicate with our members as further information becomes available.
Better Together,
Debi Daviau
President
Meeting #: 2018-01
Time: 30 January 2018 @ 5 pm

It is with great sadness that the Institute announces the death of one of its most prominent members, Dr. Shiv Chopra.
Over the years, Dr. Chopra’s name had become synonymous with food security. Employed as a veterinary drug evaluator at Health Canada, he was one of three scientists dismissed by the federal government in July 2004 on the grounds of “insubordination” after they had publicly raised concerns about the approval of products they had reason to believe could harm the food chain and, ultimately, the lives of Canadians. A courageous whistleblower who put the interests of all Canadians ahead of his own, Dr. Chopra fought unsuccessfully for many years to get his job back. He was truly a man of integrity, and he will be missed.
The Institute extends its condolences to Dr. Chopra’s family and to the many friends and colleagues who were privileged to know him.
Following the signing of the new collective agreement on December 1, 2017, the Institute has just been advised that Public Works has updated the salary scales for the IS/LS/TR groups on January 8th, 2018. The revision payments will be processed on the weekend of January 20th/21st and the new salaries should be reflected on the pay of February 7th. Thank you for your patience.
