DECEASED MEMBERS
Your bargaining team of Sharon Trasatti, Kellie Moorman and Nicholas Pernal (PIPSC Negotiator),
met with the FNHA on August 22-24 and again October 3-5, 2017 for the first two bargaining sessions.
The focus of these meetings were to discuss non-monetary issues. The following points were discussed:
As you are aware, your bargaining team has met with the Employer on several occasions since early 2015 in an attempt to negotiate a new collective agreement. On June 21, 2017 the Employer presented its final offer. Unfortunately the offer fell short of what your bargaining team believed was in the best interests of the members. As a result, the parties were unable to reach an agreement. Consequently, the parties are heading to binding conciliation. Members will be advised of any new development shortly.
Our last Bargaining Team Update was in July 2017 and over the last several months, we have been working diligently with senior PIPSC management to re-engage in meaningful bargaining.
Last week, the federal government introduced Bill C-62, An Act to amend the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act and other Acts.
The Bill is aimed at repealing two blatantly anti-labour pieces of legislation introduced by the former Harper government, Division 20 of Bill C-59 and Bill C-4.
The first of these sought to unilaterally impose an inferior disability and sick leave management system on public servants, an unwarranted and significant attack on our members’ rights.
Bill C-4 would have drastically changed the rules for collective bargaining within the public service, giving the government full control over union rights such as the right to strike and the right to arbitration. The government would have also determined what positions would be considered essential.
While one of the Liberal government’s first decisions was not to exercise these powers, PIPSC welcomes the introduction of Bill C-62, which will formally put an end to measures introduced by the former government that eliminated any real hope of a level playing field in federal labour relations.
We hope the Bill will proceed promptly through the legislative process and that it will be adopted shortly. It’s time to finally turn the page on a sombre time for Canada’s labour movement as a whole, and the federal public service in particular.
AV Group call letter to all Treasury Board and agency members to participate in the negotiations on leave for Victims of Domestic Violence.
During this round of bargaining, the AV Group took the leadership on an insidious issue, Domestic Violence. While a broader national issue, Domestic Violence carries impacts, or the potential to impact PIPSC members. With the targeted assault on the Public Service sick leave program, PIPSC wants to ensure that sick leave modifications properly consider those needs associated with or arising from Domestic Violence.
