Sharon DeSousa, the president of PSAC, is gearing up to fight a new mandate that will see public servants in the office for four days a week.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) has announced legal action against the federal government’s mandate requiring public servants to return to the office four days a week starting July 6, with executives back full-time by May 4. PSAC argues this change violates existing agreements on remote work and is being implemented during ongoing contract negotiations. The union is prepared to challenge the government’s authority on this issue, especially following a recent labour board ruling favoring their stance on telework. PSAC’s strategy will differ this time, leveraging recent developments and their current negotiations with the government.
