PSAC Area Councils
Area Councils are cross-Component organizations recognized in the PSAC Constitution. At Area Council meetings members from different locals can get together to compare notes about what the employer is up to. This body is engaged in Political Action Campaigns. Area Councils meet at varying times, check the schedule for a location nearest you. Area Council members can also raise the profile of the union in the community, build links with other Labour groups, and send members to Regional and National Conventions.
