Canada Revenue Agency Bargaining Unit

We're not there yet as negotiations continue in October

Your bargaining team spent Friday wrapping up the progress that has been made in the last two weeks of negotiations. We are at a critical stage and there are still several important issues on the table that will need to be resolved if we are to reach a settlement.

The employer is continuing to demonstrate a commitment to the process and has agreed to an additional week of negotiations in October. We will be returning to the table in two weeks, starting on October 15. Negotiations are scheduled to continue until October 26.

Your team remains cautiously optimistic that we can achieve a tentative agreement before October 31.

Our ability to achieve a fair settlement continues to depend on your strong support. Stay tuned for information from your Local about how you can show your support for your team and for a fair settlement.
