AFS GROUP EXECUTIVE RESPONSE TO CRA’s STAFFING GUIDELINE CHANGES

The AFS Group is very concerned with the CRA’s June 13. 2019 announcement of changes to some of the Agency Staffing Guidelines. We understand that the Agency is determined to make staffing faster and easier. However, the way they are doing this is detrimental to employee trust in the staffing system.

Rules of Procedure

Published on 11 June 2019
On Saturday, May 25, 2019, the AFS Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement with CRA that provides a fair wage increase for all of our AFS members; commits the parties to continuing meaningful consultations on classification matters; and provides for an extension of the Quebec Region flexible work initiative.

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.
