New Education Travel Policy

Greetings Sisters and Brothers,

We are pleased to announce that we have a new basic education travel and expense policy for our PSAC Ontario region.

This travel and expense policy is designed to provide equitable access for members when they attend courses offered through our PSAC Regional Offices for the Basic Education Program.

With this new policy in place, members will receive the same consistent, transparent and equitable entitlements when attending PSAC education training. 

To view this new policy you can visit the PSAC Ontario webpage at: 

http://ontario.psac.com/topics/education-program

A strong union education is vital, as it is fundamental in creating knowledgeable activists to fight for our rights, within and outside of the workplace.

In Solidarity,

Sharon DeSousa,
PSAC Regional Executive Vice-President Ontario
