Your pay depends on it!

PSAC National Board of Directord adopts a resolution

May 2002

Following the federal government’s recent announcement on classification reform, the PSAC National Board of Directors adopted the following resolution at its May meeting:

WHEREAS the government announced the implementation of a new classification reform process on May 8, 2002; and

WHEREAS this so-called classification reform will maintain a system of multiple standards, signaling the end of the Universal Classification Standard (UCS); and

WHEREAS the federal government's classification reform will undermine pay equity and the economic well being of the overwhelming majority of PSAC members employed in the federal public sector:

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the PSAC strongly condemn the federal government's decision not to implement a single, universal plan in the federal public sector; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the PSAC develop a campaign against the federal government's action and in support of a universal classification standard that includes membership mobilization, political action and legal action; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this plan of action be presented to the Component Presidents for approval by the end of August 2002.
