The Canada Employment and Immigration Union (CEIU) joins the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) in supporting the legal action taken on behalf of past and present federal public service workers who identify as Black, Caribbean or of African descent.

Since the last update was posted on our site in December 2020, CEIU has held three meetings with the ESDC Labour Relations team on February 4 and 25 and on April 7, 2021, to monitor the file processing. Here are the highlights of these meetings:   

The Canada Employment and Immigration Union is pleased to be able to offer fifteen (15) $2,000.00 National Scholarships to CEIU members in good standing, their spouse, their common-law spouse (including same sex partners) and/or their dependant(s).

Elections, where needed, are now all complete, and CEIU is happy to provide our membership with a list of the delegates that will be attending the 2021 CEIU Convention to represent them. 

The CEIU National Executive met for their Spring meeting, from March 17^th to 20^th, 2021.  As they have been doing since March of last year, once again this meeting was held virtually.   Even virtually, the National Executive has dealt with number of issues and adopted number of recommendations made by the Finance Committee and the By-Laws Resolutions Committee.

This year, the theme for International Women’s Day is “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world”.   International Women’s Day (IWD) is held every year on March 8^th.

The National Executive, at its February 22^nd, 2021 meeting passed a motion that the CEIU National Convention will be held virtually from August 16 to 20, 2021.  The three (3) Committees (Finance Resolutions Committee, By-Laws Resolutions Committee and General/PSAC Resolutions Committee) meetings will also be held virtually – those meetings are the week of May 17 to 21, 2021.

When it comes to mental health in federal workplaces, whether you are working from home or on site, every action counts—big or small. This is especially true in the context of COVID-19.

CEIU has a new phone system to better serve our members.

One toll-free number reaches any of the staff at CEIU.  Much easier for our members to remember.
