CFIA Bargaining Update and Proposals

Two days of negotiations have already been scheduled in Ottawa on May 28 and 29. The PSAC/CFIA negotiating team is ready to work hard to deliver a fair and equitable collective agreement for the members at the Agency. The team expects that the first meeting on May 28 will be used for further clarifications on the bargaining proposals and discussions of non-monetary issues. You can read the proposals that were presented to the employer .

Your negotiating team will keep you informed at every step of the bargaining process. Meanwhile, if you have questions or concerns, please, don't hesitate to contact your representative on the negotiating team, as listed below.
