If ratified, the Canadian government will have reached agreements covering nearly 60 per cent of public officials for this round of negotiations. “I am pleased that PA employees, many of whom have supported important services to Canadians during the pandemic, have reached a new preliminary agreement and that all employees represented by PSAC are receiving compensation for the burden the Phoenix pay system had on their lives. This is proof of our commitment to reaching fair and equitable agreements taking into account the current economic and fiscal environment. » Negotiator: UNIFOR Collective Agreement Expiry Date: June 30, 2022 Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Arbitration The Government continues to commit to collective agreements with all bargaining units pending for this round of bargaining, including those represented by the PSAC.

If approved, this compensation agreement will apply to the 140,000 VIP members who will be paid through Phoenix`s compensation system. This initiative was the result of collective bargaining. In 2001, as part of the settlement of the collective agreements signed this year, psac and TBS agreed to establish a common learning program for PSAC members in the core public administration and their counter-managers. The following collective agreements, in 2004, 2008 and again in 2011, renewed their commitment to the JLP. During the current JLP period, more than $8 million has been allocated to fund jointly designed and conducted learning activities.
The pilot project was the first time that a negotiator and the employer agreed, through contract negotiations, to conduct learning activities together to improve the relationship between labour relations in the public service. . . .
