• Current Campaign

  Standing up for Canada. With the various commitments by the Federal government to repeal antiunion legislation Members are asked to keep encouraging their MPs to do the right thing and follow through on commitments to ensure fair collective bargaining, health workplaces and the protection of employee rights.

  The Ontario We Want Campaign. Based on the OFL’s Nov2015 Action Plan  the local is supporting efforts by PSAC’s Greater Toronot Area Council to engage members in efforts to participate in Rallies and  speak to their MPs around the opening of labour legislation. Of particular emphasis is the $15 for fairness initiatives that have been endorsed by the OFL

• Ongoing Campaigns

  We Own It is a campaign to keep public assets public prevent improper privatization

  Protect Our Pension is a response to the second unilateral change to federal public service pensions recently introduced into legislation and hoped to die on the order paper.

  Election Reform is a long standing goal of unions to replace the current first past the post process with a method that is more inclusive and representative of the electorate

• Past Campaigns

  We Are All Affected Campaign. With the downsizing of government to meet sustainable and effective goals some services are being lost, contracted out or compromised. In the end it may be that the public interest will not manifest the political will to act on these issues. Most often this is because the context and implications are not apparent. Please contact your steward if you have not signed your Pledge card. The pledge cards are a measure of support and help the Local and PSAC to ensure its contact information is current

  Respect our Rights Clement Petition to Respect Collective bargaining rights in relation to NPSW was extended due to the postponement of the event. Contrary to initial indications the employer opted out of the event during NPSW this year. The local is looking at rescheduling the event at which time the clement petition should be completed. Preliminary signatures have been submitted to the PSAC regional office.

  19 Minutes on the 19th Campaign started on the 7th of Sep2014 with the first Local video on political action. It is in support of our bargaining teams and to prepare for the 2015 Federal Election. the Local has generated a series of short videos on YouTube to raise awareness the avenues available to members to address concerns with the pace of bargaining, the cuts to staffing levels and how members can effectively interface with their MPs. The projected completion date is 19Oct2015 the date of the next federal election.
