In November 2024, the Treasury Board shared a proposal to refocus government spending which, despite previous commitments, put workforce adjustment (WFA) on the table. While WFA could result in job losses, there are other options possible before reaching this point. CAPE is actively pushing back against these measures while also ensuring that affected members have access to critical information and support.
Workforce adjustment: Representation and support
If you are a CAPE member facing the possibility of being impacted by WFA or if you have already been affected, we encourage you to stay informed and seek assistance. CAPE is here to provide guidance, advocate on your behalf, and help you navigate this process.
Please consult the resources below for more information on the WFA process.
Reach out to your labour relations officer for more details on your rights, available resources, and the steps you can take to maintain your employment in the federal government.
