The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) is a national union representing over 180,000 employees who work in various sectors of the federal public service, as well as in the private sector. Often referred to as PSAC, it is one of Canada's largest labor organizations. The primary goal of the Public Service Alliance of Canada is to protect and advance the rights and interests of its members, ensuring fair and equitable working conditions.
As a public service union, the PSAC operates with the objective of promoting and preserving the principles of social justice, democracy, and equality within the public service sector in Canada. It actively advocates for improved wages, benefits, working conditions, and employment security for its members. The PSAC also engages in activities and campaigns aimed at promoting inclusivity, diversity, and equality in the workplace.
In addition to advocating for its members, the PSAC plays a significant role in collective bargaining processes, negotiating collective agreements with the government and private sector employers. These agreements define the terms and conditions of employment for the represented employees and serve as the framework for their relationship with their employers.
Beyond its role as a labor union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada also engages in political activities and lobby efforts to influence public policies and legislation that impact its members and the broader public service. It actively participates in national and regional forums, conferences, and partnerships to advance the interests and rights of its members and to contribute to the transformation and improvement of the public service sector in Canada.
