February 5, 2020<\/p>\n

PSAC has now received the Public Interest Commission\u2019s (PIC) recommendations on issues that are specific to the Education and Library Science (EB) group. The PIC\u2019s recommendations on issues common to all Treasury Board groups will be made available when the Commission submits its recommendations for the Program and Administrative Services (PA) group.<\/p>\n

While the PIC recommendations are non-binding, which means the union and\/or the employer can accept or reject the recommendations, we are pleased to note that the PIC agreed with some of the union\u2019s proposals specific to the EB group.<\/p>\n

Wage parity with comparable jobs<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the PIC did not fully address all of our key demands around wage parity and adjustments, it recognized that the employer\u2019s wage offer was inadequate for the two parties to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n

New national rate of pay for teachers who work for 12 months (ED-EST)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PIC also recommended that the new national rate of pay for 12-month teachers (ED-EST) be included in the new collective agreement. The PIC pointed out that a joint committee composed of both the employer and union representatives had already reached an agreement on a new national rate of pay and that this agreement should be implemented.<\/p>\n

Allowance for union members who teach Indigenous languages<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PIC agreed with PSAC\u2019s position that teachers who provide First Nation language instruction should be entitled to the specialization allowance. The Commission \u201cwas struck\u201d by the fact that the union\u2019s proposal aligns with the recommendations made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission<\/em> and with the federal government\u2019s Bill C-91, the Indigenous Languages Act<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the PIC didn\u2019t address many of PSAC\u2019s proposals and even agreed to some of the employer\u2019s concessions, such as on Education Leave Without Pay and Career Development. Other examples can be read in the full document on the PIC\u2019s recommendations<\/a>. In order to reach the fair deal that our members deserve, PSAC will continue to mobilize its membership through increased workplace action, up to and including a strike, until a fair settlement is reached.
