PSAC is starting to put in place plans for a transition of the union. This transition was approved by the PSAC convention earlier this year and referred to at a conference call meeting of all staff with Robyn Benson and Chris Aylward on May 20.
Several weeks ago, President Benson sent an update on the transition process to the National Board of Directors and the management team. This XO/21 was provided to some PSAC staff but not all. A copy is attached.
The transition has the potential to have a significant impact on many of our members. Once I received a copy of the XO, I wrote to Sister Benson asking that our Local be included early in the planning process for the consultation which will take place. A copy of my letter is attached.
After providing the other staff unions with Local 2025's letter, most of them have followed suit. Copies are attached.
Sister Benson replied very quickly and we will be meeting with her in August. I will provide an update following that meeting.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
In solidarity,
Rachel Besharah, President
