Our PSAC-UTE bargaining team met with the Canada Revenue Agency on November 18-20 to continue negotiations for a new collective agreement.
Job security and workforce adjustment (WFA) were key topics discussed in this session. We again made it clear to the employer that these issues are priorities for us in this round of negotiations.
Hello sisters, brothers and friends,
First of all, I'd like to express my solidarity with you in these difficult times. The message we have received from the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of the Canada Revenue Agency highlights the significant financial stakes involved, and I understand that this situation is generating a great deal of concern among you, our members.
PSAC’s Workforce Adjustment guide for workers at Canada Revenue Agency is an essential resource to help members understand their rights and protections when changes to the workforce, including layoffs, are being contemplated. It is designed to reduce uncertainty, provide clarity, and empower members to make informed decisions.
As most people are aware, today the CRA has made a major announcement regarding the movement of work and displacement of our members. There will be 2396 members affected, notwithstanding the effect this will have on our terms and members on acting positions that will not be renewed.
We have been hearing rumours in regards to major changes for months and have been attempting to elicit information and consultation from management. We were repeatedly told that management could not reply or comment on rumours. Now these rumours have come true.
