The Joint Learning Program (JLP) for members at Treasury Board
The JLP was first introduced into the PA, SV, TC and EB collective agreements in 2001, and met with such success that it was renewed in 2003. Yet more popular today, it has been submitted as a bargaining demand by another PSAC bargaining unit, the CFIA team.
We would like to be invited to your local general meetings to present the JLP to the members, encourage them to request workshops and recruit candidates for our facilitator orientation sessions. Contact Céline Préfontaine at prefonc@psac-afpc.com
