Survey Update..
Thank you to everyone who participated in the deeming survey. You made your voice heard, and your message was clear: many of you do not want deeming to occur and desire to maintain your superior terms and conditions. It was also clear that an increasing number of members desired pension mobility within the rest of the federal public service.
Unfortunately, pension mobility outside of deeming requires legislative changes, which are beyond the scope of what is possible in the bargaining process. Deeming is a complex issue, and what we do next will consider all members' priorities to the best of our abilities.
We will continue to keep lines of communication open through this process and invite respectful engagement from all members. Ultimately, we are committed to improving our lives as CMs and ensuring that our voices are heard by the RCMP and Treasury Board.
Please note that the RCMP has informed PIPSC that they plan to move all CMs and regular Members to the failed Phoenix pay system, regardless of deeming. Please keep an eye on your emails for more information on this and what you can do to oppose it.
We have updated our FAQ section with additional information based on questions we have received. You can also post your questions to our Facebook group here.
As always, we’ll stay in touch.
In solidarity,
Robert Boivin, Chair
On behalf of your RCMP CM Bargaining Team
