Abstract

The National Joint Council of the Public Service of Canada (NJC) is a consultative body established by an Order of Council of 1944. The purpose of the NJC is to promote the efficiency of Canada's public service and the well-being of its employees by providing for regular consultation between the government, as the employer, and employee organizations. Originally six employee organizations represented employee interests, but with the advent of collective bargaining for employees in the public service of Canada in 1967, employee interests on the council are now represented by seventeen organizations certified as bargaining agents under the Public Service Staff Relations Act, which, as amended, is now part of the Public Service Reform Act of Canada.
