PSAC filed an unfair labour practice complaint on Monday, July 7th in response to Treasury Board’s efforts to claw back sick leave benefits from employees.
Treasury Board is moving unilaterally to put in place a Short Term Disability scheme even though its collective agreements with employee unions provide paid sick days and engaging in misleading communications to the public and employees.
The PSAC complaint alleges that the Treasury Board is violating its duty to bargain in good faith, and that their behaviour constitutes interference with PSAC’s representation of employees contrary to the Public Service Labour Relations Act. Moreover, it alleges that the employer’s actions to implement an STD plan are in violation of the statutory freeze provisions of the Act.
Sick leave is part of the collective agreements and any changes must be brought to the bargaining table. If Treasury Board truly wants to engage in a discussion about improvements to the health and work life of employees, the bargaining teams are ready to talk.
