Workforce Adustment

In July, 2025, the Mark Carney Liberal government announced a Comprehensive Expenditure Review aimed at reducing the budget of the federal public service by 15% over the next three years. Cuts such as these can be a cause of concern for our members, but it’s important to know that the Agriculture Union is here to fight for your rights.

Phoenix Pay System

While the government has announced that employees who have incurred financial expenses because of pay problems may submit a claim, Agriculture Union is encouraging members who have been financially impacted by Phoenix to file a grievance as well, so as to protect their rights.

Agriculture Union members are front-line defenders of public health, supporters of sustainable agriculture and guardians of a secure food chain. All share one common goal: to serve and protect the public interest.
