Federal unions join forces to launch new remote work campaign
PIPSC, PSAC, and CAPE have launched a national campaign to secure greater support for remote work rights for the public service. The campaign underscores the overwhelming evidence that a one-size-fits-all approach is ineffective and how expanding remote and telework options can save taxpayer money, boost productivity, and improve workers' lives – benefiting everyone. The campaign is featured on radio, newspapers, social media, transit, and billboards nationwide. Look out for our ads!

PIPSC continues to advocate against pension surplus transfer
