Last Thursday, the Treasury Board announced plans to roll out a one-size-fits-all approach to return federal public servants to their offices for 2-3 days per week starting in January. While some exceptions apply, the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) demands a halt to the Treasury Board’s plans to mandate employees back to the office as they feel the plan does not take into account the unique circumstances of federal public servants. Thousands of PIPSC members have already started bargaining their next collective agreements with the Treasury Board, where telework is on the table.
