The Treasury Board of Canada said the Public Service Alliance of Canada has demonstrated an unwillingness to reach agreements during an ongoing round of negotiations, leading to its complaint
The federal government is accusing Canada’s largest public-sector union of not bargaining in good faith, and, as a result, has filed a complaint with Canada’s labour relations board.
“From the start of negotiations in June 2021, the PSAC has flooded the bargaining tables with costly proposals – over 500 across its five bargaining units. At the same time, they have refused to prioritize their requests, refused to move on their initial proposals, and did not respond to the employer’s comprehensive offers,” said the statement.
But the union disputed the claims of the federal government, saying that the government’s action are a stalling tactic to deny more than 165,000 workers who have been in talks for more than 18 months a fair contract.
