A joint committee consisting of representatives from PSAC and Treasury Board met for the first time last week to discuss modernizing the Directive on Telework. This meeting laid the groundwork for what future meetings will look like during this year-long consultation process.
We are committed to pushing for important updates to the directive that was developed in 2020 — before the pandemic began — based on feedback from members.
We’ll continue to fight for all telework requests to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to prevent a “one size fits all” approach and ensure that the employer must provide written responses that will allow members and PSAC to hold them accountable to equitable and fair decision-making around telework.
Federal public service workers have proven they can deliver the services Canadians depend on, whether working remotely or in the office. We look forward to working together in this joint committee to ensure the employer’s policy reflects the new reality of work.
