PSAC communicated important information regarding strike pay.
https://psacunion.ca/october-31-deadline-reporting-treasury-board-and

As the sixth month since the end of the strike approaches, they have set October 31, 2023, as the deadline for strike pay errors to be signaled.

At CEIU, we have chosen to also communicate our timelines. The following information applies to the national top-up (50$/day). For any questions about local top-ups, please contact your local union.

Should there be some type of error in your file, you have until November 15th, 2023 to communicate this to us at CEIU. Strike pay top-up payments will not be made following this date.

Feel free to reach out should you have more specific questions about national CEIU top-up.

Thanks,

CEIU-SEIC

Greetings,
 
On Wednesday, September 20^th, ultra-conservative right-wing hate groups have planned nationwide events to protest teaching 2SLGBTQIA+ content in schools under the pretence of protecting children. 
 
These groups are being supported by American hate groups who are behind much of the anti-trans and anti-gay legislation we are seeing in the U.S.
 
They have learned to frame their hateful ideologies in false narratives of “choice” and “freedom”, when really this is about discrimination and intolerance.
 
To learn more about these groups’ real beliefs, including the leaders behind these movements, please visit antihate.ca.  
 
Preying on peoples fear and anxieties to promote misinformation will have real devastating impacts for already marginalized communities.
 
If you are interested in joining the Ontario Federation of Labour’s Rapid Response team to join a counter protest in your area, please RSVP here.
 
Join our “No Space for Hate” movement and let us uphold the protection of human rights in Canada and stop the right-wing American influence from spreading hate in our communities. 
 
In Solidarity,
 
Craig Reynolds,
PSAC Ontario Regional Executive Vice-President

Cheques have gone out to more than 100 of you.  However, PSAC tells us there are more than 50 of you that haven’t completed the claim process we asked you to do on May 29th.

Reminder:

1. No stub, no cheque

(July 19, 2023 pay day or prior to be emailed to localceiu581@gmail.com)

2. No google form, no cheque

(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn-64BioIDaHRQim5SOyN84b_QNNOI7UgosfKJnMZEGXxi1g/viewform?usp=sf_link)

At this point we now need to receive funds from CEIU Ontario Region to issue any more cheques. We can’t ask for any money from them until enough of our members actually make claims. So, get those claims in. Encourage your peers to get their claims in if they haven’t already. The sooner the remaining members do that, the sooner we can mail out more cheques.
