REMINDER: Let's Mark National Public Service Week By Telling the Government to Respect Our Rights

What has been going on in the last few years is truly unprecedented

For this year's National Public Service Week (NPSW), the AJC joins other federal unions to send a message to the government: respect our rights!

What has been going on in the last few years is truly unprecedented.

* Two years ago, TB President, Tony Clement, chose the opening of the 2013 edition of NPSW to announce his intention to change the sick leave regime, alleging that federal public servants abuse the system.  
* Since then, the government has used 'omnibus' budget bills to bring about drastic changes to labour legislation infringing on our constitutional right to collectively bargain (C-4, C-59).

Let's use NPSW to send a message: Public servants deserve respect.
 Tell Tony Clement to stop his attack on our rights.
Sign and distribute the petition in your workplaces.
Use the 'Respect' sticker to show your support.
Take action!

Please click on the following to find:
* A 'Respect' poster
* A 'Respect' sticker
* A petition addressed to Treasury Board President Tony Clement

We encourage you to print these and put them on your desk where they will be visible.

Signed petitions can be sent back to the AJC office by fax (613-564-0606) or a scanned version can be sent by email to admin@ajc-ajj.com .  We will forward them to Minister Clement.  Please send the signed petitions by FRIDAY, JUNE 19th, end of day. Thanks.
