Members Vote to Ratify New Collective Agreement

Extraordinary attendance was observed at contract ratification meetings held across the Yukon last week. After today’s ballot count, we can say that Yukon Government workers have voted overwhelmingly to accept the tentative deal, ratifying their new contract.

This Collective Agreement, retroactive to January 1, 2022, will be in effect until December 31, 2024. Yukon Employees’ Union and the Public Service Alliance of Canada represent this bargaining unit, numbering approximately 3500 members. Read Media Release

Important Update: Revised Work-Site Visit Procedures

Effective immediately, work-site visits for Local Y017 members will be limited to ten to fifteen minutes, prioritizing prompt information dissemination through Union Boards. The President remains committed to addressing concerns, advocating for members' interests, and is accessible for personalized discussions outside of regular work hours. Please reach out directly to schedule meetings and stay updated through the Local's events page for a stronger, supportive work environment valuing everyone's contributions.

PSAC North & PIPSC Secure Health Authority Agreement

Dear Members,

We have good news to share! In collaboration with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), PSAC North has worked to secure a multi-union interim agreement prior to the government finalizing legislation for a new Yukon Health Authority (see the Memorandum of Understanding attached).

Need a Shop Steward?

Having trouble at work? Looking for someone to talk through an issue with or who can answer your questions about the Collective Agreement? Shop Stewards are trained volunteers who act on behalf of members in the workplace. They're your first stop when you're looking for answers or when something doesn't feel right on the job. Click the Shop Steward icon for a directory.

We always need more Shop Stewards!
Consider taking on the role of union representative yourself. Becoming a workplace advocate is a powerful way to support your colleagues and build a stronger union.
