New Brunswick public sector workers’ wages do not go as far as they did 10 years ago.

For years, the government has tried to hold a pattern of wage restraint that has set our members back.have been significantly higher.
 Workers are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet. Living from paycheck to paycheck is not sustainable.


Moving Forward Through Coordinated Bargaining

  • We will engage members at the local level to build strength;
  • We will work across sectors and with labour allies to present a united front, and reinvigorate our Regional Action Committees;
  • We will build mobilizing capacity through mass education, from bargaining conferences, to conventions, to membership meetings across the province; and
  • We will always bargain forward, not backwards. Our plan will give locals the tools they need to fight back against wage concessions and two-tier bargaining. If a collective agreement provision is not good enough for us now, it’s not good enough for our future members either.
