In response to the growing requests for help from PIPSC members, the union is assigning additional resources to deal with Phoenix-related issues.

Inundated by hundreds of requests, PIPSC staff have had to prioritize catastrophic situations first. These include members who have gone without pay for significant amounts of time or those who have had problems receiving EI benefits.

The union currently has hundreds of grievances filed and hundreds of other cases waiting to be processed. Our members have shown incredible professionalism and patience as these grievances and requests for help get processed. Phoenix has taken a toll on public service professionals and their families.

PIPSC members with Phoenix pay system problems are encouraged to communicate with our team: https://www.pipsc.ca/news-issues/phoenix-pay-system/phoenix-help-form.

Dear Members,

Last month, I had the opportunity to represent PIPSC and the Canadian labour movement at the Labour 7 (L-7) summit in Ottawa. This was a preparatory meeting hosted by the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) leading up to the G-7 meeting this summer in Québec.  As a CLC Vice-President, I was invited to participate in this important discussion of how we can best tackle the challenges facing workers today and in the future.  Topics included ensuring the innovation agenda is inclusive, gender equality, and adapting to technological change. 

It was a unique opportunity to meet with labour leaders from the G-7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States) and to discuss our issues with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and key members of his Cabinet. Not only did we enjoy an open and frank discussion with the Prime Minister, but we also had the opportunity to engage in a productive dialogue with Ministers Patty Hadju (Employment, Workforce Development and Labour), Maryam Monsef (Status of Women), and Chrystia Freeland (Foreign Affairs). 

Below are a few photos from the two-day session, including one of me with our Prime Minister, and the other with an impressive group of international women leaders that I was humbled to meet.

Better Together!
