Audit, Financial and Scientific Group

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.

Recent announcements about the possible transfer of workload from CRA to Revenu Québec have created an atmosphere of uncertainty for many of our dedicated AFS members.

We are proud of our AFS members who have the knowledge and experience to address international, scientific research and development, tax avoidance and other complex tax matters.
