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.

We are aware that many of you have recently received a response from the employer dismissing the grievances that were filed relating to your pension transfer from the Ontario Public Service. We had anticipated that the employer would conclude that the matter could not be grieved and, for that reason, we have also been pursuing class action proceedings before the Ontario Superior Court on this same issue. The parties have agreed to enter into mediation in those proceedings.

From the President … As we near the end of 2018, we can be thankful for many things. After several years of frustration, we ratified a new collective agreement and began work on classification reform.

The AFS Bargaining Team was scheduled to meet with CRA management December 18 to 20 to continue negotiations to renew our collective agreement. Unfortunately, it became clear to our bargaining team that the Treasury Board has not provided CRA with a mandate to resolve our concerns.
