Want to experience Fairness @ Work ? Here’s how it happens…

if you are wanting more information about the benefits of unionizing contact us, we’ll discuss the possibilities of forming a union at your workplace and the improvements forming a union can bring you and your coworkers
-
once all your questions are answered and you’ve decided to pursue joining the PSAC you will work with a PSAC Organizer to develop a plan of action - including getting others involved and having them sign union membership cards together with the Organizer a team will work to organize the workplace
-
once a majority of your co-workers have signed membership cards, application will be made to the appropriate labour body - federal or provincial labour board - for the PSAC to be certified as the bargaining agent

once certified, the local structure will be formalized, bylaws adopted, a collective bargaining team established and notice to bargain given to the employer. For the first time you will have a role to play in determining your pay and benefits and working conditions!
