- The local is the foundation of the union. It is usually the first point of contact for members.
- Components bring together members who work for the same Union of National Employees. The Union of National Employees is one of 15 components within the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC). The PSAC’s component structure is organized to bring together members, most of whom work for the federal government and its agencies.
- The PSAC is one of Canada’s largest unions, representing more than 240,000 people from coast to coast and members working abroad in embassies and consulates.
- You can learn more about the union structure by attending PSAC’s Talking Union Basic’s course. Course Listings – PSAC NCR
