Checking In (post by Local President)

By this point in time it's become clear that public service job cuts will be a big and on-going story in the media.  Here's a typical report from today's round of articles.

If you find yourself upset or alarmed by these daily news items, please remember that every employee who may be affected by the upcoming cuts will receive the full support of their union, and that our Regional management team is working hard to minimize the negative impacts on all staff during this difficult time. 

I recently attended a day-long training session offered by the PSAC Ontario Regional Office which included the latest information about Workforce Adjustment (WFA) from the union's perspective.

The most import take-away from this session was that we are all in this together, and your union is here to inform you of your options and to protect your rights.  No employee will have to face this time of change alone.

I strongly encourage all members to visit the PSAC WFA resource page for in-depth information and resources to help you understand the WFA process and to learn what kinds of questions we all need to ask to ensure our rights as dedicated and hard working public servants are respected during the weeks and months ahead.

As always, if you have any specific questions or concerns please email me, or the rest of your Local Executive at local00303@gmail.com.
