CITY LOCALS MERGE TO CREATE LOCAL Y046

YEU/PSAC Local Y046, Whitehorse Municipal Workers is the newly combined local for all City of Whitehorse workers previously represented by Local Y022 (Whitehorse Transit) and Local Y023 (City of Whitehorse). 

This decision was reached following many discussions between the two Locals and their Executive members and was formalized in meetings in early June of 2021. 

A few key points:

• All members of Locals Y022 and Y023 now belong to Local Y046, Whitehorse Municipal Employees
• Locals Y022 and Y023 have ceased to exist independently
• Members retain their existing PSAC Union Member ID number
• New Collective Agreement, currently in effect, incorporates both previous bargaining units as a single unit under one contract.
• All existing Shop Stewards will continue to serve the combined Local, and we will try to assign Stewards to similar or nearby work units. 
• Local Y046 invites members to join the Health & Safety Committee and Job Evaluation Team.
