You’re unionized: here are 3 immediate benefits

Friends,

I have great news! You finally have a union.

The Federal Labour Board has granted our application to represent nearly 1,400 RCMP Civilian Members (CMs). That means you are now a PIPSC member and benefit from our services and the collective power of 55,000 public service professionals.

Being a PIPSC member empowers you to join the process of collective bargaining. It gives you a seat at the table. It allows you to directly advocate for yourself and your coworkers.

There are thirteen (13) vacancies for Officers on the AV Group Executive. Successful candidates will take Office on June 1, 2018, all for three (3) year terms.

Following the close of nominations on April 9, 2018 at 12:00 PM (noon) EDT, listed here are the members that have expressed their willingness to serve as Officers on the AV Group Executive.

You are invited to attend the Portage CS Sub-group’s information session which will be held on Monday, May 14th, 2018, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am in room 1D-501, Phase III.

This session will be to inform members of the upcoming changes to the sick leave plan. You will also have the opportunity to ask question and obtain clarifications on this topic.

The session will commence at 10:00 am.

Like all Canadians, members of the Institute are shocked by the senseless deaths and horrific injuries that occurred yesterday afternoon in Toronto.  Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.

The tragedy took place in front of a major public service office building located at 4900 Yonge street.  We don’t know at this time if any of our members were hurt in the catastrophe, and the vicinity of the building is the site of an ongoing investigation by Toronto police.  As such, it is possible that access to the facility may be restricted today.  We will keep you informed of developments as information becomes available.
