PSAC seeking legal advice over CRA telework changes

The PSAC-UTE bargaining team is seeking legal counsel about Canada Revenue Agency’s telework plans following the latest bargaining session, May 10-12.

PSAC to government: Keep public services stable, head back to the bargaining table

Statement from PSAC National President Chris Aylward: 

Over the last two months of the COVID-19 pandemic, PSAC members have been on the frontlines battling the virus and delivering emergency financial support to millions of Canadians. They continue to provide these critical services, they do so without a new contract, and many have not seen wage increases for up to four years.
