Dear fellow AV members:

Our collective agreement will expire on June 21, 2018, and your AV Bargaining Team had a kick-off meeting on March 15 and 16 to begin preparations to negotiate a new agreement.

We worked on development of the members’ bargaining survey, which will be sent to all AV members before long to request your important input into the negotiations. The results of this survey, along with any other issues that may come to the attention of your Bargaining Team, are vital input to help us form the proposals to be bargained with Treasury Board.

PIPSC and other public sector unions are moving forward on negotiations with the government for compensation or damages and interest on money owed for the undue stress and hardships suffered by their members and caused by the Phoenix pay system.

It goes without saying that Institute members have suffered enough since the introduction of the new pay system. Regardless of their pay situation, public service employees continue going to work day in, day out. They need to see movement on the government’s part, given that it’s been two years since the system was first introduced and hundreds of thousands of public servants are still waiting for their correct pay.

The 2018 federal Budget acknowledges that the government needs to work with unions to address the emotional and financial impacts of Phoenix. We will continue to work diligently to ensure PIPSC members have access to adequate compensation.

Visit our Nix Phoenix page to learn more and take action.
