PIPSC will join in PSAC to rally in downtown Nanaimo at noon on Wednesday, October 18 at 60 Front Street. A bus will pick up at PBC at 11:30am, returning at 1:10pm.
Federal public service workers are proudly committed to providing the services Canadians depend on. Yet thousands are still having financial troubles because they are not being paid correctly or on time.
In accordance with the NR Group Constitution, By-Law 8 Elections, the Group Elections Committee is sending out a Call for Nominations for the following seven (7) positions on the NR Group Executive: 4 in the NCR, 1 in Atlantic, 1 in Quebec, and 1 in BC/Yukon.

Fellow members,
With everyone back to work after the summer holidays, the Executive of the Ville-Marie Branch would like to invite you to a happy hour at one of Montreal’s popular hidden bars on Thursday, October 19 at 5 p.m.
Note: For this special occasion, only the first 20 people to register will be considered and will receive the details on how to get to the event. Obviously, we will accept more if the bar lets us. As we’ve done in the past, we will be offering two free drinks to those attending.
12 October 2017, Ottawa — Hundreds of public service workers are holding a rally at 12:30 pm today in front of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office to send a clear message to the Liberal government: Enough is enough!
The Liberal government had set itself a deadline of October 31, 2016, to resolve the bulk of pay cases and now, a year later, the Phoenix pay system is still struggling. It’s time to fix Phoenix once and for all and pay damages to the thousands of public service workers who have struggled with the consequences of erratic and insufficient pay and, in many cases, no pay.
The ill-conceived and premature launch of the Phoenix pay system has resulted in severe consequences, despite the estimated $750 million spent so far:
“This has gone on long enough,” said Greg McGillis, Regional Executive Vice-President for the Public Service Alliance of Canada in the National Capital Region. “We call on the government to ensure public service workers receive payments for damages due to this unbelievable fiasco.”
“Fixing Phoenix means ending government’s appalling record of over-reliance on IBM and other outsourced services,” said Debi Daviau, President of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. “Parliamentary Secretary Steven MacKinnon said last week that the government would fix this problem to everyone’s satisfaction using public employees. We plan to hold him to that promise.”
