Negotiations with Canada Post
PSAC to bring Canada Post's final offer to members for vote
The Public Service Alliance of Canada will be asking members at Canada Post Corporation to vote on the employer's final offer. The PSAC and Canada Post returned to the bargaining table last night and bargained until this morning when the employer tabled its final offer.
PSAC members, who have been on strike since Nov. 17, voted last week to reject the employer's previous offer which proposed to replace employee sick leave and family-related leave with a short-term disability program.
The PSAC negotiating team believes that the Corporation's mandate is firm and that further improvements will not be forthcoming. This latest final offer contains some improvements to the short-term disability plan.
The collective agreement between UPCE/PSAC and Canada Post expired on August 31, 2008, and negotiations began on June 4, 2008.
More details to follow.
