PSAC/UTE Bargaining Team pushing for increased flexibility for employees, increased protections.
This past week (April 15th through 18th) our Bargaining Team spent four days in negotiations with CRA. The parties spent much of the time discussing issues related to hours of work and scheduling.
As we embark on the Public Interest Commission process, mediation dates have been set for December 20-23 in Ottawa. At this meeting we will endeavour, as always, to make gains at the table for the membership.
A majority of PSAC members in the Program and Administrative (PA), Technical Services (TC), Education and Library Science (EB), and PSAC-UTE (Canada Revenue Agency) bargaining units have voted in favour of their respective tentative agre
The PSAC-UTE bargaining team is seeking legal counsel about Canada Revenue Agency’s telework plans following the latest bargaining session, May 10-12.
The PSAC-UTE bargaining team has been trying to enshrine telework protections in the collective agreement and we have made it clear we believe CRA cannot make changes around telework without the union’s consent.
Sisters, Brothers and Friends,

On July 3, PSAC started the process of negotiating a new collective agreement with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The union sent a notice to the Agency that we want to bargain changes to the current agreement that ends on October 31, 2012.
Sisters and Brothers,
We would like to thank UTE/PSAC members at CRA for your support in pushing for a fair collective agreement.
On Friday June 24, UTE President Bob Campbell met with Acting Commissioner, John Ossowski, to discuss the results of the vote on the proposed memorandum of settlement. He has committed to reach out to Treasury Board and the Minister of Revenue and respond with more information regarding their position as soon as possible.
Statement from PSAC National President Chris Aylward:
Over the last two months of the COVID-19 pandemic, PSAC members have been on the frontlines battling the virus and delivering emergency financial support to millions of Canadians. They continue to provide these critical services, they do so without a new contract, and many have not seen wage increases for up to four years.
