As part of PIPSC's ongoing commitment to advancing public sector science, we have released a new report examining gender equity in scientific fieldwork. The report draws on the experiences of women and non-binary federal researchers to document challenges ranging from inadequate infrastructure to serious safety concerns. It provides practical solutions and best practices to address these long-standing issues.

PIPSC continues to advocate against pension surplus transfer

The government’s decision to transfer a $1.9 billion surplus from the Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP) to its general revenue ignores workers' equal contributions to the plan.
