July 6-7, 2018 AFS Planning and Executive Meetings
The Labour Board heard the PSTAR grievances, FPSLREB File Nos. 566.34.9832 & 9833 (Myles & Alcock), on October 2-5. During the hearing both PIPSC and the CRA presented all the evidence and we will make our final arguments in the near future. As soon as more information becomes available we will post it here on our website and we encourage you to visit in the coming weeks for updates on this matter.
The AFS Group served notice to bargain with the employer on August 22, 2018.
We have also agreed on our first bargaining dates, October 10 to 12, and November 6 to 8.
In preparation for bargaining, our AFS Bargaining Team reviewed unresolved bargaining demands from previous rounds; collective agreement settlements; issues brought to our attention by members; and published bargaining demands. AFS members were surveyed this spring for their bargaining concerns and our AFS subgroup presidents met in June to prioritize our bargaining demands.
I would personally like to thank all of our AFS stewards and members for their constant support through our last round of bargaining. We are getting regular updates on the status of our new collective agreement’s implementation. The employer has indicated that they expect to meet their 150 day implementation deadline as of our August 22nd pay.
