For the Profile 1 assignment, you are tasked with providing an overview of one of the trade unions that operates in the federal public service. I wanted to provide some further guidance as you work on this assignment, due October 1, 2021 by end of day. Here are the steps you should follow as you complete this assignment: 1. Choose a trade union that operates in the federal public service: 1)The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPS), 2) The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), or 3)The Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE). Under the following headings, and within the page limits in the assignment description in the syllabys, summarize the following: - Provide a brief history of the union - Provide an overview of the structure of the union: - Describe how the union is governed. For this you will need to look under their Regulations on their website. How are they made up. What does their organizational chart look like? How are the roles and responsibilities divided? - Describe what sectors of the public service are organized by this union. Who is their membership composed of? - Describe the current (in the last four years) challenges that this union faces. One of these will clearly be the challenges around COVID, but please explore other issue the union has faced (the Phoenix pay scandal, job security, collective bargaining, pension protection, and many others.....the topics really abound). For this assignment, you will need to consult two primary sources from the union. These could be webpage posts, publications or pamphlets the union puts out, transcriptions of speeches from union leaders, etc. You will also need to consult two academic, peer-reviewed sources (books or journal articles) for this assignment. This will likely come into play in the challenges section. I want to hear what academics or experts in the field are writing about challenges faced by the public sector unions. Please note that failure to use the minimum number of sources can result in a failing grade for the assignment. All the basic rules of academic writing apply. Please provide an introduction and conclusion. The use of headings in your writing is encouraged. All rules of academic honest apply. When in doubt, always cite!
