Pat St-Georges, a member of the Bargaining Team, will be at S-Anthony's Hall next Wednesday, November 30, to give us a live update, answer our questions and hear our comments. The presentation will start at 12:10 and will be over by 1:00 p.m.
Technical Services Updates
Your TC Bargaining Team met with Treasury Board on November 15-17, 2011. We are reporting some progress, although many issues still need to be discussed.
We had a productive discussion on several outstanding issues:
PSAC proposals
Employer proposals
Article 25 – Hours of Work
After several counter-proposals by both sides, we are getting closer to agreeing on a modified Article.
New Article – Membership Fees
We have signed off language that provides for the Employer to reimburse employees for membership and registration fees to organizations and governing bodies when payment of such fees is a requirement for the continuation of the performance of the duties of the employee's position. This new article resulted from Treasury Board's plan to rescind its policy on membership fees.
Economic Package
Your Bargaining Team is working diligently to finalize our wage proposal for presentation to the Employer.
Bargaining Resumes December 13, 2011
Your Bargaining Team will be returning to the table on Dec. 13th, 14th and 15th, 2011. Meanwhile, Team members are looking forward to being invited to AGMs and other Local membership meetings, town hall meetings, and other information sessions so that we can have a face-to-face dialogue with you about bargaining issues.
Another frustrating session with Treasury Board
