The PA, TC, EB and SV groups as well as PSAC-UTE have now reached tentative agreements with their employers, and PSAC members will now have the opportunity to vote on their new collective agreements. PSAC has organized ratification votes between August 24 and September 29 in each PSAC region to allow you to cast your ballot. See below to sign up for the ratification vote webinar that is most convenient for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to be eligible to vote you must: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1.   have received your personal identification number by e-mail <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.   ensure you are a member in good standing (MIGS)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.   attend a 15-minute webinar session <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Receive your Personal Identification Number (PIN) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those PSAC members for whom we have no personal email, we will send a letter in the mail containing your PIN to your home address two weeks before the beginning of the voting period. If we have a non-employer, personal e-mail address on file, we will instead send you an email with your PIN two days before the start of the voting period.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take a moment to update your contact information and provide us with your personal, non-work email address. You can update your contact information online<\/a> by logging into the PSAC member portal or create an account if you don\u2019t already have one.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have not received your PIN after the voting period begins, please check your junk e-mail folder and if it is not found there contact your PSAC Regional Office<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Ensure you are a member in good standing (MIGS)  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some situations, PSAC members cease being members in good standing (MIGS) and lose the right to participate in ratification votes.  To confirm your status, please contact your PSAC component.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are on extended leave <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are on extended leave (e.g., long term disability, maternity or parental leave) and therefore not a member in good standing (MIGS), you can make a request to remain in good standing to the National President via this online form<\/a>. This will allow you to participate in the ratification vote.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have not signed a union card or are unsure that it has been processed <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have never signed a union card, you will not be able to participate in the ratification process. You can fill out and sign a union card online.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unsure that you have previously signed a card or are unsure that it has been processed, simply fill out a new card online<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you are already a member in good standing, please take a moment to give us your personal, non-work email address. You can update your contact information online<\/a> right now.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have difficulty updating your information, contact your PSAC Regional Office<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Register for a webinar <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to ensure that members are fully informed prior to casting their ballot, the PSAC constitution<\/a> requires all members to attend an information session before they vote. These sessions will be held by webinar in each region and will allow members to ask questions regarding the content of the tentative agreement. Attendance will be tracked and only those who registered and attended the full presentation will have their member profile updated on the e-voting system, enabling them to vote.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find your PSAC region below to register for the webinar. Your PSAC ID is required to register for the webinar.<\/strong> It is listed in the top right corner of your voter package for easy reference or you can contact your PSAC Regional Offic<\/a>e to obtain it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
