Third Choice Campaign
The Conservative government is forcing Canadians to choose between a strong economy (no deficit) and strong public services. The goal of the “Third Choice” campaign is to highlight the absurdity of this forced choice and encourage Canadians to ask for something better.
Mental health matters
On Mental Health Day, the PSAC is calling on all levels of government to address the growing mental health crisis in Canada.
Justice for Aboriginal Peoples – It’s time
The Justice for Aboriginal Peoples initiative is the next step in raising awareness about Aboriginal rights including putting pressure on the federal government to do the right thing.
PSAC federal budget fightback
Canada's largest federal public sector union is calling on the government to give Canadians a department by department accounting of exactly what services are going to be cut – where, when and how.
Stamp out privatization at Canada Post
The Public Service Alliance of Canada and its component, the Union of Postal Communications Employees (UPCE), are engaged in an important campaign to protect the valuable public services that Canada Post provides to all Canadians.
Hands off our pensions
PSAC members are up in arms over media reports and right-wing lobby group campaigns to recoup the federal deficit on the backs of public service employees.
Pension Grab: Another Government Plunder
PSAC and other federal public service unions took the then-Liberal government to court over 1999 changes to the Public Sector Investment Board Act which allowed it to expropriate $30 billion from the federal superannuation fund.
Save the gun registry - fight Bill C-19
Since the Harper Conservatives came to power in 2006, they have taken a number of steps to discredit as well as reduce the effectiveness of the federal gun registry. They continually refer to the registry as the “Liberal billion-dollar boondoggle” and they’ve waived the licensing and registration fees for gun owners and twice extended the amnesty to register guns.
Food safety first
The federal government is failing on food safety. It's time to fix the food inspector shortage.
Stephen Harper is dragging his feet when it comes to making our food safe. FoodSafetyFirst.ca has given the federal government a failing grade on food inspection and enforcement. You can see the report card here.
Defending quality public services
From the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Northern territories down to the US border, common values link the communities that make up our society. Our public services are the tools we have collectively given ourselves to achieve our common ideal – a fair, equitable, safe and prosperous society respectful of the environment where no one is left out.

Save our farms campaign
PSAC is seeking your support for the Union of Solicitor General Employees' “Save our Farms” campaign to stop the closure of Canada's prison farms.
Without warning or consultation, the Harper government announced in February that it intends to close all of the six farm programs operated by Correctional Services Canada.
Our fish
From wholesale closure of the cod fishery on the East coast resulting in losses to 27,000 northern cod fishers and the diminished work capacity of up to 100 processing plants to the millions of ‘missing' sockeye on the Fraser River leading to fishery restrictions and closure, the continuing collapse of fish stocks puts the culture, livelihoods and ecological heritage of many people across Canada in jeopardy.
If this trend continues, in 50 years there won't be any fish in Canada's oceans and waters. Many more communities will suffer through job loss.
