Your bargaining team has started the bargaining process.  We met with the employer for four days last week.  We will be working to improve and strengthen your collective agreement.  Here is a short summary of the issues that your union has put on the table:

PSAC members who work for Parks Canada will meet in Ottawa from April 4-6. They will elect members to represent them in the next round of collective bargaining with their employer. They will also discuss the pressing issues that affect them in their day-to-day work and the improvements they want to see in their next contract.

PSAC Collective Bargaining 2014: we’re readyCollective bargaining is a democratic right in Canada, affirmed by the Supreme Court. But government amendments to labour laws threaten to set back labour rights by 30 years.In this context, PSAC bargaining team members have arrived in Ottawa to prioritize bargaining demands and ensure that our members achieve a fair collective agreement and that public services are protected.

We would like to thank the large number of participants who were able to join the telephone town hall last night to get the latest information about negotiations with Canada Post.  

The employer has sent us a notice to bargain. They are in a rush to get to the bargaining table. Yet they have been unable to implement the past agreement seven and a half months after we settled.

New Agreement is Now in Effect

Your bargaining team and Canada Post met to negotiate March 15 and 16 in Ottawa. Despite the significant changes that have occurred since last fall, including the announcement of pension relief for Canada Post, they have maintained their position as outlined in their last offer which contains significant concessions including provisions related to job security and your pension.
