Need a Shop Steward?

Having trouble at work? Looking for someone to talk through an issue with or who can answer your questions about the Collective Agreement? Shop Stewards are trained volunteers who act on behalf of members in the workplace. They're your first stop when you're looking for answers or when something doesn't feel right on the job. Click the Shop Steward icon for a directory.

We always need more Shop Stewards!
Consider taking on the role of union representative yourself. Becoming a workplace advocate is a powerful way to support your colleagues and build a stronger union.

CITY LOCALS MERGE TO CREATE LOCAL Y046

YEU/PSAC Local Y046, Whitehorse Municipal Workers is the newly combined local for all City of Whitehorse workers previously represented by Local Y022 (Whitehorse Transit) and Local Y023 (City of Whitehorse). 

This decision was reached following many discussions between the two Locals and their Executive members and was formalized in meetings in early June of 2021. 

A few key points:

• All members of Locals Y022 and Y023 now belong to Local Y046, Whitehorse Municipal Employees
• Locals Y022 and Y023 will cease to exist independently
• Members retain their existing PSAC Union Member ID number
• Existing Collective Agreements remain in effect, and both bargaining units will be maintained.

o   Whitehorse Transit Workers

o   Whitehorse General Workers

• All existing Shop Stewards will continue to serve the combined Local, and we will try to assign Stewards to similar or nearby work units. 
• We are still looking for more Shop Stewards and a Chief Shop Steward – Whitehorse General Workers
• Our local has also put out a call for members to join the Health & Safety Committee and Job Evaluation Team where there are vacancies or room for more involvement from union members. 

Local Y046 BYLAWS, adopted  June 2021.
