The Daily Debrief - Bargaining & Strike Updates

Bargaining Update

Today, we resumed talks with Treasury Board, and have received a new offer from the employer. We hope to continue bargaining this weekend in order to reach a fair deal for our 120,000 federal public service members.

Talks are also ongoing for our 35,000 members at Canada Revenue Agency.

We’ll be providing no other details at this time.

What’s up this weekend?

We’ll be providing no other details at this time. What’s up this weekend? We will not be holding any picket locations this weekend. If you are usually scheduled to work weekend shifts, you’re still on strike, and must not report to work.

Instead, please complete this form to register (edit: the link to the form does not work, due to a coding error) for alternate strike support arrangements and receive strike pay.

Wondering when you will receive strike pay?

Strike pay began to be processed on Thursday, April 27 and will take a few days to deliver fully. Payments will be issued in weekly intervals.

The first payment will cover the first three strike dates: April 19, 20, and 21. Next week we will begin processing any additional days on the picket line.

*We have been made aware that those who have auto-deposit enabled on TD bank accounts have had their e-transfers cancelled by the bank. We will re-send the payments as soon as the issue is resolved by TD.

E-transfers will reach members in the first days as they are automatic, while physical cheques will take a few more days to print and distribute. When cheques are ready for distribution, members will be notified by their regional office.

Please note if you signed in manually without being scanned on any of your days of picketing, your strike pay for that day may be delayed until the following week's payment. We ask that you please wait until the following week's payment before submitting any errors for review.

If after two strike payments you still have errors or issues with your strike pay, please submit a request for PSAC to resolve the problem using this form.
