The USGE and CSC have been working together to come up with a working proposal to deal with the National Generic Work Descriptions. The following communiqué is the first step in this process.
On April 20, the first of USGE’s Regional Conferences and Collective Bargaining Conferences started up in the Ontario Region.
The Union of Solicitor General Employees is seriously calling into question your government’s decision to close Canada’s six prison farms. We believe this decision is not in the best interest of the farm program participants, nor in the best interest of the Canadian public.
Of note, John Edmunds, National President of the USGE, John Leeman, former inmate and graduate of the prison farm program, Bill Flanagan, Dean of Law at Queens University, all hit home runs in an concerted effort to convince the Committee members to return to Parliament a review of the shortsighted decision to close the prison farms.
