Collective Bargaining
Collective bargaining is how PSAC and management come up with the terms and conditions of employment for our members. Territorial or federal labour legislation establishes rules for how negotiations take place and how disputes are handled.
Each bargaining agent also has rules about:
-
- how member input is gathered;
-
- how decisions are made about bargaining proposals;
-
- who does the bargaining.
PSAC’s rules are listed in Regulation 15 of our Constitution.
Bargaining Units
Components bring together members who work for the same government department, agency, or territorial government. During the bargaining process, updates from Bargaining Teams are shared with members and in most cases posted on Component websites:
Yukon Employees Union (YEU) Bargaining Updates
Union of Northern Workers (UNW) Bargaining Updates
Nunavut Employees Union (NEU) Bargaining Updates
Bargaining Updates shared with members by PSAC North are sorted by Territory:
Additional information about the collective bargaining process for members can be found on the PSAC National Bargaining webpage. If you can’t find the update you are looking for, contact your Regional Office for more information about the status of your bargaining unit’s negotiations.
