- At Area Council meetings members from different locals can get together to compare notes about what the employer is up to. Members may find out that someone in a different workplace had exactly the same problem and that they solved it.
- Raise the profile of the union in the community by participating in Labour Day activities in your area.
- Attend District Labour Council meetings and speak on behalf of the PSAC in your community to encourage support for our issues.
- Coordinate the circulation of petitions and postcards campaigns on demands such as protection of pensions, Child Care Campaigns, Scab Legislation, and job security so members in your community are able to participate in national campaigns. Be active in all political action activities conducted by your respective Area Council.
- Be a forum for your representative on the Regional Council where she or he can seek your input on regional union policy and report to you about decisions made on your behalf.
