The advent of collective bargaining in the Public Service has placed an onus both on the Alliance and on its components. It has forcefully been impressed upon the Officers of both the Alliance and the Components that the responsibility for carrying out the representation of organized public servants in bargaining on their behalf with the employer and the ensuing provision deriving from agreements or arbitral awards has to be a shared responsibility. On the one hand, the Alliance provides research technical assistance to bargaining committees and negotiating teams, general representations regarding servicewide matters, fringe benefits, and working conditions demands for each bargaining group certified; arrange for the acceptance, by the membership of bargaining positions and of proposed agreements; administer the ensuing collective agreements, handle all grievances and continue to make representations on behalf of the membership with Canada Post Corporation officials and Purolator Courier Ltd.

It is important to remember that our ByLaws reflect the wishes of our members as to
a structure considered best suited to serve them, and at the same time conform to the Constitution of the Public Service Alliance of Canada.

The Constitution of the Alliance may change and our own needs may change so our
ByLaws must be regarded as a "living" rather than "static" thing, and we must be prepared to change and continue to strive for improvement as circumstances warrant.
