Your bargaining team has submitted the SP Group pay proposal to Treasury Board for a Science and Research Pay Adjustment for all classifications and levels in the SP Group, in addition to a general economic increase (negotiated at the central table).

Qualifying for the SR2 and SR3 lump sum payment:

The SR2 and SR3 lump sum payments are for employees who hold an SR2 or SR3 substantive position on the date of signing the collective agreement and have done so for a minimum of three (3) continuous months preceding the date of signing. If you hold one of these positions as your substantive, but have been acting in another position, you will still qualify for the lump sum payment so long as you meet the criteria stated above.

Dear AFS members,

The AFS Bargaining Team shared our AFS specific pay proposals electronically with the Employer on January 26, 2019. We took this unusual step to give the Employer every opportunity to obtain a mandate and respond meaningfully when we meet on February 12 to 14.

We will make detailed  presentations to explain the justifications for our pay demands during these same meetings.

For transparency, we will post all of our pay demands as part of bargaining update following our February bargaining session.
