OTTAWA, ON, May 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Canada's largest public service unions, representing more than 260,000 federal public service workers, will hold a joint press conference to announce further actions opposing the government's misguided three-day in-office mandate.
Tens of thousands of workers have already expressed their frustration and outrage with the one-size-fits-all mandate – made without any consultation with unions or workers – that violates federal public service workers' rights and disregards their well-being.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), the Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE), and the Association of Canadian Financial Officers (ACFO) will provide an update on upcoming actions and next steps.
WHEN: Wednesday, May 8, 11:30 a.m. ET
WHO:
- Chris Aylward, PSAC National President
- Sean O'Reilly, PIPSC Elected Vice-President
- Nathan Prier, CAPE President
- Dany Richard, ACFO President
WHERE: Room 135-B, West Block, House of Commons
