Members of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE), of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) and of other federal public sector unions are gathering once more to let federal government officials know why they are against the mandated three-day a week return to office.
Forcing thousands of federal employees back to insufficient and expensive downtown Ottawa offices more days a week is not a viable long-term solution to fix downtown Ottawa’s decades-long economic problems and is affecting public sector employees’ productivity. The return to office mandate happened unilaterally, with no consultation with employees or their unions, and did not consider existing issues with the hybrid policy already in place, or the negative impacts on employees.
