Due to logistical issues, we will not be returning to the bargaining table January 9-10, 2018. We are now scheduled to return to the bargaining table, on yet confirmed days, in February 2018.

We will keep you informed of further developments.

Your Bargaining Team

Your Bargaining Team met with the CFIA on December 19-21, 2017 and January 16-19, 2018, with some sessions lasting past midnight in order to push for a fair deal. We are pleased to announce that with the assistance of a mediator from the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Board, we’ve reached a mutual agreement to conclude this round of bargaining.

The news that Canada’s largest private-sector union, Unifor, has decided to withdraw its membership from the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) has taken many by surprise.

PIPSC believes that Canada’s labour movement is always stronger together. We remain firm affiliates of the Canadian Labour Congress and will continue to work with other unions for the benefit of our own members and for all Canadian workers.

We also remain hopeful that a resolution that would allow Unifor to return to the CLC can soon be reached.

We will continue to monitor the current situation closely and communicate with our members as further information becomes available.

Better Together,

Debi Daviau

President
