Employees of the Government of Canada will be celebrating National Public Service Week (NPSW) from June 11th to June 17th.
Our AFS Members should be proud of the important work that we do on behalf of all Canadians to maintain the integrity of our self assessment tax system that funds virtually every federal government program.
Our celebrations will be dampened this year by the refusal of our employer to set new bargaining dates or meet our very reasonable pay and reclassification demands. We are also frustrated by the unending problems caused by the Phoenix pay system which is incapable of properly compensating our members.
In spite of these frustrations, we encourage our AFS Members to participate in local NPSW events organized by management or your union. You've earned it and you deserve it.
In solidarity,
Doug Mason
AFS President
On behalf of the AFS Executive
