Negotiations with Treasury Board: FB agreement signed
The first collective agreement for the FB group has been signed. The provisions in the collective agreement are now in effect, and the employer has 150 days from today to implement the new rates of pay and issue cheques for retroactive pay reflecting the wage increases going back to June 21, 2007.
Wage increases are pegged at 2.3 per cent for the first year from 2007 to 2008 and 1.5 per cent for each of the remaining three years of the collective agreement.
Members in the FB group have won an agreement that reflects the nature of the professional services they provide and compensates them accordingly. FB workers have also won seniority rights for employees working under Variable Shift Scheduling Arrangements. Another highlight is the strengthening of Workforce Adjustment provisions that requires the government to review the use of contractors and consultants in order to avoid layoffs.
The four-year collective agreement expires on June 20, 2011.
