Earlier this year, PSAC National President Sharon DeSousa appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Human Rights to discuss employment equity in the federal public service. PSAC also submitted detailed recommendations to the committee on how the government can better protect workers from equity-deserving groups during workforce adjustment.

On July 6th, the federal government is forcing federal public service workers back into the office four days a week. The Secretary of the Treasury Board has admitted this mandate was a "philosophical" decision, made without any research, zero data, and zero evidence. That's not leadership. That's ignoring the evidence.

The Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board has informed PSAC that it will appoint a mediator following the TC group declaring impasse in May. Mediation is now scheduled for July 16-17.
