The PIPSC Human Rights and Diversity Committee held an anti-Black racism webinar where participants learned how the labour movement and Canadians can combat racism.

I encourage you to attend the upcoming Canada School of Public Service webinar, Bill C-65 and Its Impact on Workplace Harassment, Violence and Safety, which will be held on November 16th from 1:30 pm to 3pm (Eastern).

Members of the public service pension plan and benefits plans can sign up for a newly launched email notification system. This new service is available for current and retired PIPSC members who belonged to a Treasury Board pension or benefits plans.

The new guidelines on the use of leave code 699 fail to take into account the very difficult circumstances that so many of our members still find themselves in. We've written a strongly-worded letter to the Treasury Board President on this issue.

Participants Guide  

The 101st Annual General Meeting will be our first ever online-only AGM. Delegates are encouraged to read the Participants Guide prior to the start of the meeting.

To date, the use of Code 699 has been minimal. Those who need it – need it. It is a great disappointment that the Treasury Board has decided to change its guidance on the use of Code 699.
