Ratification votes for PSAC members in the four Treasury Board groups will begin on May 24 and end on June 16 at noon ET.
In order for PSAC members to receive their new rates of pay, retroactive pay, and lump sum payment, the new agreements must first be ratified. To ensure this ratification process is done as quickly as possible, PSAC will be conducting an expedited ratification process.
The ratification votes will be conducted using the same online voting platform used for strike votes earlier this year.
