The new collective agreements for 155,000 union members in the federal public sector will be officially signed next week.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada has announced that the Treasury Department and the Canada Revenue Agency have in turn ratified the tentative agreements reached between the parties last spring that ended the strikes.
On June 16 last year, the alliance, which represents those 120,000 union members in government departments and agencies and those 35,000 at the Revenue Agency, said it had voted “by a large majority” in favor of their respective agreements.
Now that this phase of ratification has been completed for the employers’ and trade unions’ parties, it is up to them to sign the collective agreements, which should happen next week, the PSAC specifies in a statement to its members.
These union members walked out of work for several days in April, triggering one of the largest strikes the country has ever seen.
The major pan-Canadian union states that “all non-monetary provisions will come into effect once collective agreements are signed”.
As for the other clauses, “the employer has 180 days from the date of signature to apply the salary increases and adjustments and the compensations,” adds the PSAC.
