AFS GROUP EXECUTIVE

 

President

The AFS Bargaining Team is already hard at work preparing for the next round of collective bargaining. As always, our goal is to secure the best possible collective agreement for all our members.

Our current collective agreement expires on December 21, 2022. Legally, we can start the bargaining process with the CRA up to 120 days (4 months) in advance, which we plan to do.

On November 8, 2021, the CRA announced its new COVID-19 vaccination policy and implementation guide. This policy has made COVID-19 vaccination a new condition of employment. 

 

Please review the policy to understand how it could affect you. The documents are only accessible internally through CRA’s InfoZone.
