Further to our last bargaining update, we would like to inform you that the parties have met at the PSLREB on November 9, 2017 to negotiate a Memorandum of Agreement and to discuss the terms of the upcoming binding conciliation. The name of the Conciliator and dates of hearing will be communicated to you shortly. Binding conciliation is a new process and has taken some time to put in place. Neither the Employer nor the Institute are responsible for this lengthy process. The parties have agreed on the outstanding items to be resolved in conciliation.

Don’t Blame Bargaining for Phoenix Failures

Earlier this month, PSPC Minister Carla Qualtrough asked me if I would be willing to negotiate simplifying some of the pay rules bargained over decades that, some claim, contribute to the dysfunction of the federal pay system. My answer was yes – provided it doesn’t result in any loss of pay to our members.

But my willingness to bargain changes in the practical best interests of our members should not be mistaken for believing such pay rules are inherently dysfunctional, or that Phoenix failures are the fault of bargaining or – far from it – of unions.
