The PSAC-UPCE’s primary focus was to ensure that Canada Post continued to make its pay equity adjustments for discriminatory wages paid from August 24, 1982 to June 2, 2002. The Pay Equity Project on the Canada Post side is now winding down and we started an internal project to review our members’ eligibility to a pay equity adjustment from the Union.

Canada Post says 10,000 have received pay equity cheques.

In 2006 the PSAC, in collaboration with York University, sent 2250 survey questionnaires to PSAC members who worked in contact centre environments to find out more about their working conditions. At that time members told us that they were proud to be assisting the public and other clients but that their work environment often made their jobs a lot harder.

PSAC is thinking of everyone working on Parliament Hill and surrounding areas today, including many of our members following today’s unfortunate events.

Our thoughts go to the soldier who was shot and everyone who is impacted by today’s events.

We are monitoring the situation closely and getting in contact with our members affected by the current situation.
