Ciu Collective Agreement
Next month, our newly elected negotiating team will meet in Ottawa to begin preparing proposals for the next round of negotiations with the Treasury Board. Our negotiating team and the national leaders of psaC and CIU are committed to defending our highly competitive tariff rights in the next round of negotiations and to fighting for further gains for PSAC/CIU members at the CBSA. After two years and eight months of negotiations, four final offers, petitions, picketing, a final offer rejected by a legal challenge, complaints about unfair labor practices and a final round of 28-hour negotiations, our negotiating team reached an agreement with the Treasury Board/CBS on Tuesday morning from 11:00 a.m. Our FB negotiating team unanimously recommends the ratification of our new agreement. Our negotiating team unanimously recommends the ratification of our new agreement. Today we signed our new agreement with the Treasury Board. The interim agreement ratified in mid-December is now in force. A full copy of the signed language can be find here. A copy of the final print version of the contract is published and distributed as soon as it becomes available. In accordance with all other Treasury Board regulations, this interim agreement provides for the elimination of severance pay for employees who leave or retire. Under the new interim agreement, severance pay will continue to be paid if you are made redundant and do not accumulate otherwise. Any funds currently due to you under the current severance package provisions would be paid or could be transferred for future use.
Workers continue to accumulate severance pay until the collective agreement is formally signed. No other group on the Treasury Board has held as long as the FB negotiating team has done to maintain the benefit of our severance pay or to get something we have done. The new joint committees imposed by the Arms Treaty are being created. The new selection criteria that apply in our agreement also apply. This agreement is consistent with agreements reached by other federal law enforcement agencies and maintains the pay parity we achieved in the previous round of negotiations. It is a hard-fought agreement that is the result of the solidarity of PSAC/CIU members who work side by side at the CBSA.

Negotiations on new collective agreements for most members began more than a year ago, but the government has repeatedly rejected our reasonable proposals for a fair settlement. A full presentation of the new Convention and a copy of the new language will be presented at the ratification meetings. Contact PSAC`s regional office or visit PSAC`s website for more information on dates, times and locations.
We will be sure to update the way things are progressing. In terms of compensation, planning rights and protection, this agreement is considerably better than the final offer presented to our team in the spring and which the government attempted to impose a vote on last summer. The interim agreement signed on Tuesday morning contains significant improvements to our collective agreement, demonstrating the strength and solidarity of membership in the PSAC/CIU CBSA. Our three-year agreement includes: we need your help to continue to put pressure on this government and the CBSA by sending thousands of messages that push for a fair collective agreement.
