It seems like Stats Canada is abandoning its “no layoff policy” because of the possible budget cuts courtesy of Mr. Harper. Policy or not, our collective agreement requires the employer to look to attrition to accomplish any reduction in workforce. Stats Canada has to make every effort to avoid laying off PSAC members working as Interviewers and Senior Interviewers in regional offices.

These protections are in our collective agreement; we will enforce them!

The PSAC has prepared bargaining packages; Statistics Canada has 20 days to respond.

This past Thursday, November 24, the PSAC bargaining teams for the Regional Office and Field Interviewer bargaining units served Statistics Canada with official notices to start negotiations. They have 20 days to respond.

Recently, the PSAC has made great strides in terms of winning rights and protections for part-time, seasonal and other workers that have not traditionally been guaranteed hours of work.

Now it’s our turn. Together, we can make Statistical Survey Operations a better place to work.

If you have any questions, please speak with your Union Representative or a member of our
bargaining teams, or go to www.psac.com.
