The RCMP CM Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement with the Treasury Board Secretariat and the RCMP. The Bargaining Team will hold four virtual bilingual information sessions followed by an electronic ratification vote.
On March 26, 2025, your RCMP CM Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement with the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to conclude our negotiations concerning the transition of CMs into their respective PIPSC collective agreements.
This agreement must now be ratified by the RCMP CM membership. An electronic vote will be held in order to ratify this agreement. All civilian members in good standing with PIPSC will receive the voting instructions by email.
The voting will be open from April 29 at 12:00pm EST to May 6, 2025 at 12:00pm EST. You will receive voting instructions via email.
You will receive all the information concerning the tentative agreement by email at 12:00pm EST on April 29 along with your voting key. The complete ratification package, which includes a summary of changes document as well as all supporting agreement documents, will also be posted to your RCMP CM Group web page on the morning of April 29, 2025. It is important that you take the time to review everything prior to voting and prior to asking questions to the Bargaining Team.
A “Yes” vote means: You are accepting all of the changes proposed in the tentative transition agreement. The Employer has indicated all changes will be implemented within four (4) months of signing the agreement (except where extensions have been negotiated).
A “No” vote means: You reject the tentative agreement and instruct the Bargaining Team to withdraw from negotiations with the Treasury Board and the RCMP. This means that CMs may be forced into the collective agreement without their superior benefits. This means that CMs will not have any of their RCMP terms and conditions safeguarded by this negotiated agreement (e.g., unrestricted sick leave, relocation upon retirement, funeral and burial entitlements, prorated bank transfer, prorated hourly rate, extensions of leave bank thresholds, etc.) or receive a one-time allotment of five (5) days of leave or retroactivity on two (2) personal days from 2024/2025.
The RCMP CM Bargaining Team believes we accomplished the best deal possible for Civilian Members given the particularly challenging set of circumstances.
The Bargaining Team will hold four virtual bilingual information sessions via Zoom about the tentative agreement for members:
