On November 13, 2020, the recently ratified collective agreement was signed by the members of the Union of Taxation Employees’ bargaining team along with members of the Canada Revenue Agency’s bargaining team. Effective on that date all provisions contained in the newly negotiated contract came into effect.
The Committee reviewed and discussed the CRA’s Harassment Policy, Part XX of the Canada Labour Code Regulations, the Ad Hoc Committee recommendation to Council in June 2013 and the CFIA Court case concerning harassment and violence in the workplace. The Committee discussed in length whether or not UTE still requires a standing Harassment Committee in light of our position and the Court’s determination that violence in the workplace included incidents of harassment.
The National Health and Safety conference was held Oct 12 to Oct 14, 2018 in Ottawa.
From a review of the evaluation and speaking to participants, it was a resounding success.
I cannot express my gratitude enough to my committee members: Mathieu Juneau, Brian Oldford, Annick Lamoureux, for their work and dedication to making this conference a success.

Sisters/Brothers,
In November 2020, a new collective agreement was signed between the Union of Taxation Employees and the Canada Revenue Agency. The December 2020 edition of the Union News had an extensive article explaining additions to the collective agreement along with changes negotiated to existing language in the collective agreement.
