The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada

The PIPSC SP Vancouver and 401 Burrard Sub-Groups are hosting a collaborative lunch-and-learn on the bargaining process and Work Force Adjustment (WFA) entitlements.

The session will be presented by SP President Bryan Van Wilgenburg and will provide valuable information to help members better understand the collective agreement bargaining process, as well as their rights and entitlements under Work Force Adjustment (WFA).

A meet and greet mixer will be held after working hours with executives/stewards from both Sub-Groups and Bryan Van Wilgenburg will attend. In the spirit of the Lunar New Year, which starts on February 17, the mixer will tentatively be held at the Heritage Asian Eatery.
