APPLY: Talking Union Basics Course for NWT Members

This is the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s key “introductory” course open to members in the Northwest Territories. An applicant must be a member in good standing of PSAC to be selected to participate.

About

If you have wondered what it means to be a union member and how the Public Service Alliance of Canada works, the Talking Union Basics provides answers to these questions and more.

The course introduces the collective agreement, your employee rights, and your rights as a PSAC member. You will learn about the many opportunities to be active in the union and ways you can contribute to building strong locals in your region.

The Talking Union Basics course is a prerequisite to all other advanced PSAC Education courses.

PSAC will pay for travel, accommodation, loss of salary and benefits (where applicable). Family care will be reimbursed in accordance with PSAC’s Family Care Policy. In addition, participants residing in Yellowknife are entitled to claim $50.00 per day to offset transportation and lunch costs.

PSAC is committed to ensuring that the accessibility requirements of our members are respected. Please indicate your needs and provide any necessary explanations to assist us in meeting them.
