Abstract
Labour and Employment Law in the Federal Public Service , 2e describes the labour and employment law governing employees in the federal public administration, employees of Parliament, members of the RCMP, and other federal government employees (excluding members of the Canadian armed forces, judges, and employees of Crown corporations). Specifically, the book deals with the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act and the Public Service Employment Act , along with statutes specific to certain categories of government employees. It also discusses the leading cases and, where appropriate, a representative sample of decisions to explain or provide examples of particular points. Part I provides an overview of federal public service labour and employment law, along with a historical overview of the topic. Part II considers the normal labour law topics as they apply to direct employees of the government and employees of government agencies. Part III concerns the unique terms and conditions of employment for both unionized and non-unionized employees (including political neutrality, whistle-blowing, pay issues, official languages, and pensions). Part IV involves the legal regulation of the employment relationship in the federal public service — namely, the process for appointment to and within the federal public service. Part V considers Crown servants — specifically, RCMP members and parliamentary employees — who have special rules and statutory provisions governing their employment. Finally, Part VI considers the role that courts play in the regulation of federal public service labour and employment law. In short, this book does exactly what it says on the tin.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
