Subject: PAFSO Constitution – Amendments 2011
Introduction
‘The PAFSO Constitution is the foundation of all Association activities. Last amended in October 2000, the Constitution is in need of amendments to accurately reflect changes in PAFSO, revisions to the FS classification standard, and the 2005 Public Service Labour Relations Act and current Treasury Board union dues policies and guidelines. Except for the proposed amendments, the current provisions of our Constitution remain unchanged.
