IT Group Tentative Agreement
The Information Technology Group bargaining team signed a tentative agreement with the Treasury Board. This agreement must now be ratified by the IT Group membership.
After intense negotiations, the Information Technology Group bargaining team is pleased to announce that we signed a tentative agreement with the Treasury Board, concluding this round of bargaining.
The IT Group bargaining team fought hard for a better deal: the pay we deserve, the leave we need, and the flexibility to keep giving our best. The outcome of this deal is testament to their grit, hard work, and determination.
The agreement includes the major wins for IT Group union members:
- 13.5% increase in pay over 4 years (2021-2025)
- $2500 signing bonus
- A Letter of Understanding giving employees stronger protections and rights around remote work
- A new $4.725 million training and development fund dedicated to the specific needs of IT Group members
- Status quo for the contracting out collective agreement protections
- Four weeks of vacation after seven years of service
- New bereavement leave with pay in the event of a stillbirth
This agreement must now be ratified by the IT Group membership. Regular members in good standing will receive the voting instructions by email. Ensure your contact information is up to date so that you can participate in the vote.
Full details of the agreement will be provided in a ratification package, which will be posted to our group page shortly. Your bargaining team will also host webinars to discuss the details of this tentative agreement before the vote.
Voting dates will be announced soon. Keep an eye on your email for updates!
In solidarity,
Robert Scott
