Do you want to know why the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board’s decision to bypass the lengthy Public Interest Commission (PIC) process was historic? Or how Treasury Board's insulting wage offer of less than 1% per year amounts to a direct pay cut for federal public service workers? PSAC National President Sharon DeSousa joins Julie Nelson, PA bargaining team member, and Rachel Besharah, PSAC negotiator, to break down exactly what this historic PIC bypass means, why the employer’s current wage offer is completely unacceptable, and how our bargaining teams are fighting to protect members’ rights. Union Safety Net is USJE's podcast for working people. The show was nominated in the “Outstanding Branded Series” category at the 2025 Canadian Podcast Awards and won the 2026 CALM Award for Best Audio Production.
