The National President of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, Nicole Turmel said it has taken her union and its members over 22 years to reach this day. Female postal employees launched their pay equity complaint in 1982.

Turmel said women should not have to fight for decades for economic equality. ... Turmel said the downside to the decision was that Canada Post benefited from its lack of cooperation with the complaint investigation process. Turmel said the award was 50 per cent of what the union had calculated was owed to their members. She said concerns were raised over the quality of the job data, a direct result of Canada Post's total failure to proactively investigate and deal with the complaint and to cooperate with the investigation process.

Turmel called on the Liberal government to introduce a new proactive pay equity law and on the Post Office not to appeal the Tribunal's decision. 2. CLF Press Release www.languagefairness.ca/Source - [Cached] Published on: 6/1/2004  Last Visited: 10/1/2007

In a Press Release, dated May 28, 2004, Nicole Turmel, President of the Public Service Alliance of Canada demonstrates yet again how out-of-touch she is with her membership and the rest of Canada on the topic of Official Languages. In her Release, Ms. Turmel demanded that the Conservation Party declare its support for a list of principles that Turmel arrogantly defines as being the underlying principles of the Official Languages Act.

Kim McConnell, Chair for CLF, pointed out today that "notably absent from Ms. Turmel's list are the principles that English and French speaking Canadians have equal opportunity to obtain employment and advancement in the Federal civil service, that selection be made according to merit and that the make-up of the public service proportionately mirror the linguistic make-up of the country". ... Ms. McConnell went on to chide Turmel for failing to speak out on behalf PSAC members who have been discriminated against due to the current Liberal government's violation of these three principles through their misguided and totally unfair policies and actions. 3.

PSAC's national board of directors made the decision late in the afternoon of June 13, then told NEU members about it in a letter sent out June 20, from Nicole Turmel, PSAC's national president.

"Questions have surfaced with regard to NEU's ability to implement convention decisions and fully represent members," Turmel's letter said.

She said John Gordon, PSAC's executive vice-president, has been appointed as an administrator to oversee the NEU's affairs and do the review.

"The decision of the PSAC National Board of Directors was not an easy one to make, but a full review of the internal affairs of NEU is needed to ensure that NEU-PSAC members are properly represented," Turmel said.
