The Work Force Adjustment “WFA” has now hit the ground
Working with the other unions, CEIU set out the Terms of Reference of the Work Force Adjustment Committees with all 3 departments. Unfortunately, the wave of cuts has already begun, many of our members got a very unpleasant surprise on April 11. April 21, 2012Message from John Gordon on cuts to jobs and services
John Gordon, PSAC President, sent this message to Union Leaders encouraging them to continue helping our members impacted by these cuts, and continue our battle against the attempted dismantling of our public services. March 27, 2012Workforce Adjustment
Recently, the Harper government announced another round of strategic and operating reviews. This was reflected in the 2012 budget. Over the next three years, this will impact 19,000 public servants. This includes 7,000 employees who are in a position to retire which indicates that just a fraction of the total jobs cut would be due to attrition. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada “HRSDC”, Citizenship and Immigration Canada “CIC” and the Immigration and Refugee Board “IRB” were not spared staff reductions. These departments are in the process of making cuts and implementing them to meet their reduction targets.click here for previous articles
