On May 21, 2020, RCMP civilian members (CM) will be deemed appointed under the Public Service Employment Act and will be included in the Treasury Board occupational groups.

In anticipation of this transition, PIPSC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Treasury Board. The MOU maintains CM’s current terms and conditions and outlines a process for addressing differences between these terms and the collective agreements of the six core Treasury Board occupational groups CM’s will be joining.

PIPSC is establishing a Bargaining Team to conduct these negotiations, and is seeking three (3) RCMP Civilian Members (CM) to join.  In addition to the three CM’s, the team will include PIPSC members representing the six core groups. The Bargaining Team will be supported by PIPSC staff, including a Negotiator and a Research Officer. 

To ensure the team represents the diversity of the workforce, members of equity seeking groups including; women, racialized persons, First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ members, and young workers (under the age of 40) are encouraged to apply.
