PSAC Files Certification Application
"PSAC filed a certification application today, on National Aboriginal Day, with the Canada Industrial Relations Board to represent seventy (70) teachers, educational assistants, inclusion staff personnel, student escorts, counsellors, occupational therapists and speech therapists employed by the Ahkwesashne Mohawk Board of Education in Cornwall, Ontario.
The Ahkwesahsne Mohawk Board of Education (AMBE) presently administers elementary schools in all three Ahkwesahsne Districts: Ahkwesahsne Mohawk School on Cornwall Island, Kana.'takon School in St. Regis, and the Tsi Snaihne School in Snye (Quebec). AMBE also provides for students attending Secondary and Post Secondary school off-reserve, and for Special Education students.
The next step in the process is for the Labour Board to determine whether PSAC has 50%+1 membership support for an automatic certification or whether a vote among all bargaining unit members is required to determine if they wish to join PSAC.
PSAC currently represents language teachers, teaching and education assistants, tutor/escorts and administrative assistants who work at Six Nations Schools following a decision by the Public Service Staff Relations Board (PSSRB) that found that they were Treasury Board employees entitled to the same collective agreement entitlements as their counterparts within the federal public service. A successful campaign at the Ahwesashne Mohawk Board of Education would built upon PSAC's experience in this education sector."
