October 15, 2021 FacebookFacebookFacebook October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Each year on this day, PSAC’s Social Justice Fund supports the Dignity for All campaign and promotes the Chew on This! day of action to mobilize people across Canada to call for an end to poverty.

The NEU is a component of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and Rochon’s sentiment is echoed and backed by the PSAC. “We want to be back at the bargaining table. Members deserve a fair deal and it’s overdue. I’m disappointed by what seems to be deliberate delays by GN to achieve a fair deal,” says Lorraine Rousseau, PSAC North Regional Executive Vice- President. “My message to Members is that they provide vital and essential services to communities across Nunavut. PSAC will always support you and we will always have your back.

After a successful fight-back campaign against contracting out call centre jobs at Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the Agency has brought these jobs back into the federal public service. Thousands of PSAC members took part in the campaign, emailing the Minister and MPs with their concerns. CRA heard our message, and the contract was not renewed.
