Treasury Board/CBSA prepared to reconvene with our Bargaining Team in Ottawa
For months our Negotiating Team has indicated that we are ready to negotiate. We reiterated this again after the Government’s forced vote was thrown out by the federal court last month. We have also indicated that we seek a fair contract, comparable to what Treasury Board has agreed to for union members employed at other federal law enforcement and public safety agencies. On Tuesday evening Treasury Board/CBSA contacted us to set dates to reconvene the negotiating teams in Ottawa. We have agreed to reconvene next week, beginning Tuesday morning.
Day of Action October 10th.
On October 10th activities have been organized in locations across the country in support of our efforts to achieve a fair contract. Given that we have spent two years without a new contract, and given that we have been repeatedly offered significantly less than what Treasury Board has agreed to for workers at other federal law enforcement and public safety agencies, we are taking action to impress upon Treasury Board/CBSA that we deserve better. We deserve to be treated with respect. If no agreement is reached by the morning of October 10th, our Day of Action will proceed as planned.
In several locations preparations are well under way for the 10th. For more information, speak with your Shop Steward, Branch President or Regional PSAC Representative.
