COMMON TABLE PROPOSALS.

INTRODUCTION

The Employer's negotiation objectives for this round of bargaining are to reduce the pay administration burden, provide economic increases that are fair for workers and taxpayers, address departmental operating priorities and support the effective management of the Public Service. Such an approach will contribute to an engaged and qualified workforce that delivers results for Canadians.

The Employer agrees to abide by the principles outlined in the Collective Bargaining Protocol Agreement reached with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada.

Without prejudice, attached are the Employer proposals for the negotiation of a single collective agreement covering employees who are members of the Computer Systems bargaining unit.

The Employer also proposes that articles of the agreement which are not modified, deleted or ultimately dealt with by the parties as proposals shall be renewed with only appropriate editorial modification to ensure compatibility with other articles as finally agreed.

Proposed changes are highlighted in bold font. Where deletions are proposed, the words have a strikethrough “ “.

The Employer reserves the right to table monetary proposals at a later time during the negotiation process.

GENERAL

The Employer proposes to:

simplify, consolidate and standardize where appropriate;

review and amend, as necessary, the collective agreement in relation to recent legislative changes, or any other required administrative changes in terminology;

discuss Pay Administration issues and simplification, including an extension to the implementation period;

incorporate common table agreements as part of the CS collective agreement.
