Message from the Chairperson

The PSLRB is an independent quasi-judicial statutory tribunal that is responsible for administering the collective bargaining and grievance adjudication systems in the federal public service and in Parliament.

We provide three main types of service:

• adjudication – rendering decisions on grievances, complaints and other labour relations matters;
• mediation – helping parties reach collective agreements, manage their relations under collective agreements, and resolve grievances, complaints and other labour relations matters without resorting to a hearing; and
• compensation analysis and research – conducting compensation studies and providing information that can be used in the negotiation and settlement of collective agreements.

The PSLRB benefits Canadians by supporting a harmonious relationship between public servants and their employers, which improves the ability of the public service to serve the public interest.
