The Association of Justice Counsel has been advised that the Department of Justice is notifying members that their positions are affected by workforce adjustment.

With some federal departments announcing another wave of Workforce Adjustment this month, the Association of Justice Counsel remains steadfast in its advocacy and support for its 3,500 members. 

Ottawa, December 3rd, 2025 – The Association of Justice Counsel (AJC), representing more than 3,500 federal lawyers and prosecutors, reports that the latest update to Department of Justice staff on December 2, 2025 confirms further workforce adjustment (WFA) processes will be required to meet the government’s budget reduction targets.

Work Force Adjustment is underway in the federal public service. To support its members, the AJC has created the Work Force Adjustment Alternation List to help opting members find potential matches for alternation and remain employed.
