As the next step in the process, our PA bargaining team and Treasury Board have agreed to meet with a third-party, outside mediator on September 21–22 and 29–30 to continue negotiations on behalf of 120,000 PA Group members. 

These sessions come after the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board agreed with PSAC's request to bypass the Public Interest Commission (PIC) process, concluding that a PIC would be unlikely to help the parties reach an agreement. 

Our bargaining team is committed to fighting for a fair contract and will continue pushing for improvements on the issues that matter most to members, including fair wages, remote work, job security, and stronger protections around the use of artificial intelligence and workplace surveillance.
