Pay Equity: The Federal government MUST take action!

Despite the fact that the Pay Equity Task Force recommended the adoption of a stand-alone proactive pay equity law, the federal government has done nothing.

Stop the Sale of Federal Buildings

The Public Service Alliance of Canada is calling on the Harper government to stop the sell-off of publicly-owned buildings. "This process lacks any accountability and is a very bad deal for the Canadian public", says PSAC National Executive Vice-President Patty Ducharme. "Canadians would not sell their houses and then rent them back again. Canadians own these buildings. Where is the sense in selling these valuable assets and then having to pay rent for them?"

Parliament Hill workers need health and safety protection now

The Public Service Alliance of Canada and the Agriculture Union are working together to oppose the politically-motivated job cuts at the Canadian Grain Commission.

Support the Canadian literacy programming

Join with other PSAC members and literacy advocates across Canada, and support for Canadian literacy programming. On September 25, the Federal Government announced it will cut $17.7 Million from its funding in support of regional literacy programs. Help us reversing that decision by faxing your Member of Parliament.

Help eliminate pay zones

The 2006 PSAC Triennial Convention made the elimination of the pay zones a key collective bargaining priority for this round of bargaining. Fax your MP and help end the discriminatory treatment of workers who are paid regional rates of pay based on where they work and not for the work they perform.

Cuts to Status of Women Canada

Harper's government believes that they have done more for women equality in 8 months than the previous governement in years! We disagree. We need a government that works for, and with women. We need a government that can work on more than five priorities at a time… and on priorities that matter to women. Tell your MP you oppose the recent cuts to Status of Women Canada. Tell them your story. Tell them why women's equality matters to you. Tell them what we want. Ask them what they are prepared to do to make this happen. Tell them you'll be watching.
