History
In 1960 the Canada Agriculture National Employees' Association (CANEA), a national organization, was created to represent Canada Agriculture employees across Canada. In 1967, the CANEA became the newly formed Agriculture Union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC). The new Agriculture Union became one of the 16 founding staffing associations, representing almost 40 occupational groups, at the Presidents' Conference on Unity which negotiated a merger to form the PSAC.[2]
