Bargaining

As more than 140,000 PSAC members are still without new contracts or fair compensation for the Phoenix pay system disaster, the union has launched an ad campaign targeting the Prime Minister and new Treasury Board president, Jean-Yves Duclos.

The Labour Board has set March 30 and 31, 2020, for the Public Interest Commission (PIC) hearing.   PSAC had initially filed for a PIC in August, after talks with the CFIA reached impasse, but the employer responded by asking the Board to delay its creation. The Board considered this request but rejected it in late September.

PSAC is happy to announce that a new collective agreement has been ratified by the members of Local 20500 who work for the Corps of Commissionaires, Victoria the Islands and Yukon. The new contract, which expires in March 2022, contains significant wage increases over the three-year term, particularly for members at the lower end of the wage scale and for mobile patrol positions.

The Commissionaires bargaining team, comprised of John Davies, David Schinbein, Nancy Sermons and Erna Post are pleased to announce that a tentative agreement for members working at the Corps of Commissionaires, Victoria the Islands and Yukon has been achieved. The bargaining team last met with the employer on November 4 and worked hard alongside a mediator to reach a fair tentative agreement, which the team is recommending that the membership vote in favour of.

The Local 20500 bargaining team, representing 400 PSAC members employed by the Commissionaires Victoria, the Islands and Yukon, met with the employer and a government appointed mediator on October 11 and 18 in an attempt to reach an agreement.

The Liberal government has squandered one last pre-election opportunity to deliver a fair deal at the bargaining table for PSAC members, as well as to provide proper compensation for damages caused by the Phoenix pay system.
