Narrative:

Our aircraft was pushed back onto an active taxiway. When we contacted ground, they informed us of our incursion and to call the facility. The requirement to contact ground prior to pushback is in our company ramp commercial chart page. The captain and first officer missed the note. Factors in this occurrence: 1) this is the last trip of a month-long crew pairing. The captain has very poor CRM skills. Our cockpit conversation both flight related and general is very short, tense and not conducive to free and open conversation (earlier in the month the captain and first officer had an argument during the climb out phase). 2) as a so, I should be issued airport diagram pages and company ramp commercial pages. This would allow me to know what the airport requirements are.
