The Public Service Labour Relations Board has officially set dates to hear the case of regional office members working at Statistical Survey Operations; the bargaining team will present its case on November 11 and 12, 2013.
The field interviewer group is still waiting to find out when the board will hear its case.
In its latest communication, the Public Service Alliance of Canada was clear: the bargaining team is prepared to return to the bargaining table at any point – but for that to happen, management will have to agree to a fair process when it comes to assigning work hours and provide wages that are comparable with public servants doing similar work elsewhere.
T-shirts sporting the slogan “Respect for our years of service” have been distributed to both regional office and field employees; the bargaining team is asking for SSO members to wear these during Public Service Week – preferably on June 12.
And we’ve also heard that, for field employees, training sessions are an especially good time to wear those t-shirts!
