Your PIPSC CCC Bargaining Team is pleased to announce that on June 21, 2017 we signed a tentative agreement to renew the current Collective Agreement. The Bargaining Team would like to thank all members for their input and support.
The details of the Tentative Agreement are:
- Administrative changes to maternity/parental leave provisions. This is a change in language that is meant to coordinate the collective agreement with recent legislative changes in order to ensure that the total benefit remains the same.
- 1.25% economic increase to all rates of pay effective June 20th, 2017
- A new expiry date of June 19th, 2018
- An extra personal day that can be used during the 2017-18 Leave Year (a one-time, non-recurring day off)
The Bargaining Team feels that this is the best deal available and it’s to our advantage to extend the duration of the collective agreement by one year.
We are therefore recommending that members vote in favour of the deal.
By voting in favour of the deal, you will be finalizing the Tentative Agreement and securing the changes we’ve agreed to. Your new salary, retroactive pay and bonus Personal Day will take effect soon after the deal has been ratified and signed by both parties.
By voting against the deal, you will be signalling a desire to pursue further negotiations -- which may result in the need for conciliation, and possible strike action. This will further delay a final settlement and may result in the loss of some of these recent gains.
We will be conducting an electronic ratification vote to determine the outcome. The vote will open July 7th at 12:00pm EST, and conclude July 28 at 12:00pm EST.
If you do not receive your voting information or you have any questions or comments related to the Tentative Agreement, please forward them to the PIPSC CCC Group Bargaining Team ccc_barg@pipsc.ca
We will be conducting an additional Information Session on July 14th at 12:00pm in Confederation Rooms AB (2nd Floor)
