Bargaining Update

I am disappointed to say there has been no movement from the employer since the mediation hearings in May 2015.  PSAC/UTE, your bargaining team, are willing to return to negotiate a FAIR contract for you, one that will not mean giving up benefits and receiving nothing of value in return.  It is disrespectful to you, the membership, and your bargaining team for the CRA to expect us to do so.  In order to exert some pressure to get CRA back to the table we have been filing grievances, e-mailing and tweeting the commissioner, holding local events in support of our bargaining team to no avail. I would like to thank you for all the support you have shown, especially at the local level, to show CRA and Treasury Board that we deserve a fair collective agreement. I also remind you that we have a unique opportunity come October 19th to elect an employer who both respects and negotiates with the PSAC/UTE. 

Choose wisely when you mark your “X”.

In solidarity,
