AV Group call letter to all Treasury Board and agency members to participate in the negotiations on leave for Victims of Domestic Violence.

During this round of bargaining, the AV Group took the leadership on an insidious issue, Domestic Violence. While a broader national issue, Domestic Violence carries impacts, or the potential to impact PIPSC members. With the targeted assault on the Public Service sick leave program, PIPSC wants to ensure that sick leave modifications properly consider those needs associated with or arising from Domestic Violence.

PIPSC to MPs: End Outsourcing, Restore Public Science, Ensure Tax Fairness, Fix Phoenix

Ottawa, October 24, 2017 – Representatives of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) will be on Parliament Hill today to meet with Canada’s elected officials on issues of critical importance to the delivery of public services – namely, restoring Canada’s public science capacity, reducing over-reliance on outsourcing of government services, and ensuring the integrity of our tax system.

Led by PIPSC President Debi Daviau, Institute members will convene with several Members of Parliament (MPs), including Treasury Board President Scott Brison, to advocate that the 2018 federal Budget invest more in the professionals who comprise Canada's public service.

“Outsourcing costs the government money, jobs, morale, accountability and productivity,” said Daviau. “The government should make a commitment to insourcing first in implementing plans and projects. It must also rebuild Canada's public science capacity to keep Canadians safe, healthy and prosperous by hiring more scientists and researchers to replace the 1,500 federal scientists lost prior to 2015. Finally, it must strengthen Canadians’ faith in the fairness and impartiality of the tax system by holding offshore tax havens and large corporate tax evaders to account”.

In addition, PIPSC representatives will be pressing MPs on the need to fix the troubled Phoenix pay system once and for all. Close to half of federal public servants have been impacted by problems with their pay linked to Phoenix.

“Many of the problems now faced by government – from fighting climate change to ensuring federal employees are properly paid – have their origin in previous funding cuts and an overdependence on outsourcing,” added Daviau. “We’re here to argue that that needs to change.” 

The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada represents some 55,000 professionals across Canada’s federal and provincial public sectors.
