National President Update – State of the Union:

National President Winger said it’s been a busy year so far with conferences, mobilization summit, training, a strike and AGMs. She thanked UNDE staff for pulling together to organize it all and make it work. She also thanks the National Officers for all their work during the strike.

-STRIKE: PSAC National President Chris Aylward and NEVP Sharon DeSousa are very thankful to the members of UNDE and the NE for all the strike help and bringing members together. It’s been 19 years since last strike, a lot of new people this time. After-action reports will be done to be better prepared next time. National President Winger asks the National Officers to canvass their Locals to get their input. Asked not only those on strike but also VP Stone and VP O’Kane for their opinions. Then meet at or before the next National Executive Meeting to discuss the information compiled and see what to do next time, learn from experiences.

The National President has strongly suggested to PSAC in-person voting be optional for UNDE members as opposed to only online for the ratification vote. The ratification vote must be completed no later than June 18 for the contract to be ratified before fall.

Scab Discipline: National President Winger says to review Bylaw 13, Article 6 on scabs to be disciplined, those who are essential service providers required to pay their 25%, and the requirement of the VP of the region to provide a report within 4 months after the ratification vote, explaining what steps have been taken. Regulation 1306 gives clear outline to the Locals on process to take.
VP Meakin said some PSAC regions are setting up their own Committees to review and decide on disciplinary scab action. National President Winger says to follow UNDE Bylaws. VP Meakin says there has been no communication since ratification announced, especially about strike pay, members are concerned about the process, there is possibly a glitch in the system. The National President will look into the strike pay issue as this is the first she has heard of this. National President Winger confirmed that PSAC National Office says there is no glitch, all is working fine, there are some issues with banks, however those are their bank issues and beyond the control of PSAC. Every picketer should get paid strike pay as normal. Each Local will receive a printout of members who received strike pay.

EVP Jones says at the PSAC BC Convention they say they are going to continue to engage membership on mobilization. The National President says the PSAC already has modules that exist and to talk to your region about this training for your Locals to keep it ongoing.

VP Simcoe asked a question about hardship fund, has heard that members sitting on Committee to review these, is this correct? The National President says this is correct, the members review the requests and then make recommendations, these then go to the AEC for determination except in the Prairies, the Atlantic and BC who have previous hardship funds from previous rounds, using those regional funds until exhausted and then relying solely on the PSAC National Hardship Fund.

National President Winger has assigned COMTRA to review scab templates for UNDE.

VP NCR: asks if there will be a list of accommodations of those members who could not go on the strike line. The National President said the list will show those who did strike work, whether picket line or other strike work, contact PSAC Regional Office if there are any discrepancies or questions about lists.

-UNDE Mobilization Summit: The National President said it was a great Summit and well attended. This was about engaging and organizing the members, not about the strike. She says to keep communicating with the mobilizers, keep them engaged and mobilized, especially now that we have a great deal more of the contact information needed. Contact your mobilizers, know where they are and what supports they need.

-PSAC Regional Conventions: These are all coming up in May and June, BC just had theirs. UNDE VP Simcoe is running for the Prairies, UNDE Quebec member Kevin Piton is running in Quebec and UNDE member Rosie Smith-Gimblett running in the Atlantic.

-UNDE Triennial Convention: Committees coming into Ottawa next week to review resolutions.
