The union says the agreement includes a total compounded wage increase of 12.6 per cent over four years.
PSAC workers and supporters picketed in front of Treasury Board President Mona Fortier's office in Ottawa on April 21.The Public Service Alliance of Canada and the federal government have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract. Theremote-work language, and protections related to contracting out.
wage increases of 12.6 per cent from 2021 to 2024, according to the union, which indicated that it had secured an additional fourth year in the agreement to protect workers from inflation. The government, which characterized the wage increases only as an 11.5 per cent boost, said the agreement takes workers through to the summer of 2025.
The deal outlines what the union called “new and improved remote work language.” Under the tentative agreement, there is now a universal process that needs to be followed across the public service where managers must assess remote work requests individually, providing members with written responses. If a request is unreasonably denied, the union said workers now have a recourse to escalate a request to another level.
PSAC said several wage adjustments and other improvements have also been secured and will be announced shortly. Silas said he’s proud the union made significant steps forward and will be prepared for the next round of bargaining, with the contract expiring in 2025.
