On April 11, 2019, our AFS Executive met with CRA’s senior management team for our semi-annual National Union Management Consultation Committee (NUMCC) meeting.

 

Your AFS Bargaining Team met with CRA management from April 30 to May 3 to continue negotiations to renew our collective agreement.

Both sides reviewed options; proposed solutions; discussed their pros and cons; and made progress towards improving workplace flexibilities for all AFS members. It is worth noting again that our members identified flexible work arrangements as their top non-pay concern.
