PSAC members in the Parks Canada<\/a> and Canadian Food Inspection Agency<\/a> (CFIA) bargaining units have voted in favour of their respective tentative agreements. The two units represent over 10,000 federal public service workers who have gone above and beyond to support Canadians during this pandemic. PSAC has now concluded collective agreements for nearly 130,000 federal public service workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new collective agreement for Parks covers the 2018-2021 period, while the new collective agreement for CFIA members covers the 2019-2021 period. All agreements provide for fair wages, no concessions and improved working conditions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am proud of the elected members of our bargaining teams for their unwavering dedication during this round of talks,\u201d said Chris Aylward, PSAC National President. \u201cThanks to their hard work and the solidarity shown by thousands of members across the country, we were able to negotiate a fair deal. We\u2019re now in a strong position to build on these improvements in the next round of bargaining.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Steps  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the coming weeks, PSAC will meet with Parks and CFIA representatives to sign the new collective agreements. With the exception of monetary provisions, which are retroactive, new contract terms come into effect on the date of signing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both employers have 180 days from the signing of the contracts to implement wage increases, wage adjustments and allowances. As explained in the ratification kits, in view of this extended implementation timeline, PSAC negotiated a $500 lump sum payment into all contracts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSAC will update members when contracts are signed. Please keep your contact information up to date via the member portal<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FB group still in talks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Members in the Border Services (FB)<\/a> unit are still in contract negotiations<\/a> with the Canada Borders Services Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
