The ratification process for our new FB agreement with Treasury Board wrapped up in mid-December. Immediately afterwards, our negotiator contacted Treasury Board and proposed January dates for the official signing of the contract. We received a response from Treasury Board this week.
Over the course of this cycle of negotiations, every collective agreement reached by Treasury Board has been sent to cabinet immediately before signing. The FB agreement is scheduled to be presented to cabinet on January 30th. Barring a postponement of the presentation to cabinet, the parties will meet the morning of February 12th for the final signing.
As per our agreement, members’ severance for the purposes of voluntary termination continues to accrue until the final signing of the contract.
Preparations for the next round of bargaining are already underway. All union members are encouraged to submit proposals for the coming round of negotiations by January 30th.
