Important message from the National President - PSAC

March 18, 2013

We expect the federal budget to contain funding aimed at transitioning towards short term disability and eliminating sick leave. You've probably read about it in the paper. The government can plan all they want, but they can't do it without us and we're not going there. Sick leave is a negotiated benefit that is a part of our Collective Agreements.  We won't trade it, sell it, swap it, lose it or give it away. If this government is looking for an issue that will put a fire under every single public sector worker in Canada, they've found one.

It's our negotiated right, back off!

Robyn Benson
