Federal and North West Territory governments begin process to transfer PSAC members at DIAND to territorial government
On January 26 2011 the federal government and the North West Territory government signed an agreement “in principle” to transfer authority over crown lands and resources from the federal to the territorial government.
The agreement means PSAC members employed by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development could become territorial government employees.
Chapter 9 of the Agreement in principle lists the minimum criteria for the transfer of these workers.
All affected workers will be offered employment with the territorial government. Job offers must meet or exceed the conditions of a Part VII Type 2 job offer as specified in the Work Force Adjustment Appendixes of Treasury Board/PSAC Collective Agreements.
“We are concerned that the federal government ignored its collective agreement obligations. The PSAC received no advance notice that this agreement was going to be signed,” said Jean-François DesLauriers PSAC Regional Vice President for the North.
National Component president Daniel Kinsella said he would be meeting with the employer and that he had already begun working with other union leaders to ensure that affected employees are treated in a fair and transparent way.
“We will do everything in our power to try and make this transition as painless as possible for our members” he said.

2011 PSAC NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR RACIALLY VISIBLE MEMBERS
PSAC begins bargaining with Treasury Board
See articles below in English or French.
Discussions begin for Treasury Board collective agreements
Treasury Board and PSAC have agreed to engage in exploratory discussions with the objective of reaching early collective agreements. The bargaining teams from the last round are being reconvened to start talks on September 21st or 22nd.
The early bargaining process is an opportunity to provide economic certainty and improve working conditions for our members in this difficult economic climate. John Gordon - National President
You Decide
If the early bargaining process leads to tentative agreements, members will vote on their ratification.
If no agreements are reached through this process, we will proceed with the regularly scheduled bargaining process in early spring of 2011.
What can we achieve?
While we expect improvements in economic benefits, we are also focused on non-economic improvements to working conditions.
During the last round of bargaining we achieved concrete results on: national rates of pay; occupational group structure and classification review; seniority and a new pay grid for the Border Services group; as well as a number of other group specific improvements.
Your bargaining teams will be meeting in the coming days to prioritize key outstanding demans - with the goal of building on the achievements made in the last round of bargaining.
