National Research Council - Library Science (NRC-LS)

I’d like to invite you to nominate yourself for the National Research Council – Library Services (NRC-LS) Group executive.

The Employer at NRC 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.

This was the final step of the ratification process, which means the implementation of your new collective agreement can now begin.

The Pay Equity Committee has resumed meetings after the employer initialized an RFP for a consultant to assist on the committee. We met with KPMG and were provided a demonstration of the pay equity tool that they utilize.

We’re pleased to announce that the NRC-LS Group has ratified the collective agreement.

The NRC-LS Group ratification package and tentative agreement next steps.

Since the end of 2022, your bargaining team has been working hard to develop our demand package, translating your input into actions.

The Pay Equity Committee at NRC has been working to develop a proactive pay equity plan. The committee is composed of bargaining agent representatives, including a PIPSC member and staff, non-represented employees and employer representatives.

Submit your nomination for available union leadership roles by December 14, 2023 at 4:00 pm EST.

The PIPSC-RCEA WFA bargaining team met with the employer April 15-16, 2019. Unfortunately, the employer had still not received their approved mandate from Treasury Board. Despite this limitation, the employer was able to share their perspective and the direction of proposed changes.

After over a year of delays from NRC, PIPSC and RCEA met with the employer on Thursday December 13th. The employer had not yet received their mandate, and therefore the discussion was somewhat limited but productive nonetheless. High level conversations covered each side's concerns.
