Sisters in Spirit Vigils celebrate, honour and support Indigenous women, girls and their families. Attend a vigil in your community.
The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls has concluded. Indigenous women and girls suffer higher rates of violence and homicide than non-Indigenous women and girls. The Final Report is available online at: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/ There are many personal and systemic changes we need to make in this country. We recognize and thank the Native Women’s Association of Canada (nwac.ca) for their dedication to enhance, promote and foster the well-being of Indigenous women.
As an Indigenous woman representative in my worker union, I am learning about the challenges and solutions available. I am grateful for the recent learnings I have received from Colleen Hele-Cardinal, in Algonquin territory, and Hummingbirds Rising Consulting, in Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil waututh territory. I am encouraged by my worker union’s initiation of a Reconciliation policy paper. There is much to learn.
All my relations,
Ruby Langan, Anishnaabe

WE ARE IN BARGAINING!
Collective bargaining is an exciting time for union members – it is our opportunity to fix problems in our workplaces and negotiate wages that reflect the value of the work that we do, making sure Canada runs smoothly – day in and day out.
At times the bargaining process can be unclear and confusing. We want to demystify the bargaining process and discuss with you the important demands we have on the table in this round of negotiations.
By understanding how bargaining works and the role members like you have in the process we will be well equipped to get the best collective agreement!
WHEN: Tuesday, January 29, 2019, from 12-1pm
WHERE: Namwayut (Boardroom 818)
All PSAC members are welcome! Please join us!
Lunch will be provided.
For more information, contact a member of the Executive of our local: psac20150.ca/executive/

Burnt by Phoenix?
On February 28, the second anniversary of the rollout of the disastrous Phoenix pay system, PSAC members and allies are taking action across the province and across the country, sending a message to the government and the employer that we are tired of waiting for Phoenix to be fixed.
PHOENIX FIRST AID
800 BURRARD STREET (AT ROBSON)
FEBRUARY 28, 7:00-10:00 in the morning
Jamey Mills, Regional Executive VP, and a team of PSAC Pay Advocates will be available at 800 Burrard from 7AM to 10AM on February 28 to provide Phoenix First Aid to members who have been having problems with the pay system.
Members who are having Phoenix problems are encouraged to drop by anytime for a cup of coffee and a doughnut, assistance on Phoenix pay problems, and to sign PSAC’s petition to the Prime Minister.
