The CS Group is being faced with many threats and challenges. Our working conditions are deteriorating, our jobs are being contracted out and our benefits are being reduced; all while our wages are stagnating at ‘below cost-of-living’ level increases and we are being paid less than IT workers in other GoC Agencies doing the same work.

The rights and benefits of our members must be protected, including:
• Negotiating the best possible Collective Agreement, without concessions.
• Negotiating wage parity with other IT workers in the Government of Canada.
• Reversing the trend of contacting out CS jobs in all departments.
• Ensuring our benefits and pension plans are protected.
• Protecting the CS members in the new Telework environment and promote change at the Institute to support Stewards in the new workplace reality.
• Addressing the issues of mental health and stress in our current toxic work environment.

I thank you in advance for your support.

Proudly CS,
Tony Goddard
