On December 15, 2017 the Collective Agreement was approved by the Governor General in Council. All parties have now approved the Agreement and will be scheduling a date for signing early in the new year. Once the Agreement is signed, the Employer has 120 days to implement the terms of the Agreement and make payments reflective of the negotiated retroactive economic increases. Please stay posted as the Agreement is finalized.
The National Executive is pleased to announce that the 2018 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Applied Science and Patent Examination (SP) Group will be held on Saturday, April 7th. Details related to location and delegate selection will be made available in the coming months. This early notification is intended to address the concerns raised at previous AGMs that adequate advance notice was not provided.
-Your National SP Executive
Your NUREG Bargaining team is pleased and proud to announce that on Monday December 18, 2017, NUREG and the CNSC signed NUREG’s first ever Member Ratified collective agreement. This is an historic event. We thank the CNSC for pushing the agreement through the approval process with the government so we could sign before Christmas. We thank each and every one of you for all your help and support along the way.
The 120 day time period to issue retro checks and to implement our new salaries starts as of the day of signing.
