Canadian Food Inspection Agency - IN

The CFIA-IN Group is pleased to announce that our members have voted to accept the tentative agreement reached with the Employer.

Summary: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency – Informatics (CFIA-IN) Group bargaining team is pleased to announce that on June 6, 2024, we reached a tentative agreement with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to conclude this round of collective bargaining.

The Employer at CFIA has submitted a request for an extension of 18 months to complete the pay equity plan. The original draft plan was supposed to be posted for review and comments by July 03, 2024 but the employer failed to meet this deadline.

The Pay Equity Committee at CFIA has almost completed the process of creating job classes which include similar duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and the same compensation plan within the same range of salary rates.

The CFIA-IN Group bargaining team signed a tentative agreement with the CFIA. This agreement must now be ratified by the CFIA-IN Group membership. 

As you may have heard, the Treasury Board has released its new direction on presence in the core workplace. This dictates a significant shift in workplace policy for core public administration employees.

We are finally bargaining! We have successfully concluded our work at the central table and now is the time to bargain for our group-specific issues.

Dear PIPSC-CFIA members,   Your IN, S&A and VM Bargaining Teams have established a PIPSC CFIA Central Bargaining Team to deal with common issues for all 3 groups and - hopefully - expedite the collective bargaining process.
