Bargaining

Collective bargaining is the cornerstone of the union. Most CEIU members fall under the 110,000-member Program and Administrative Services (PA) Group bargaining unit. Support our bargaining team as we fight for fair wages, better working conditions, and stronger protections.

Strike votes and readiness

PSAC announced nationwide strike votes for 120,000 federal public service workers in response to Treasury Board’s insulting wage proposal, push for concessions, and refusal to address critical workplace issues.

Strike votes run from November 16, 2026, to January 22, 2027.

Before you can vote, PSAC’s Constitution requires all members to attend a mandatory information session.

It’s a critical step to make sure every member is fully informed on key bargaining issues and the strike process before making a decision.
