December 2013 – Bargaining Update

Arbitration Boards have now been established for all our remaining groups – AD, AS, PG, CS and OP.  We were able to get them established before the proposed changes to the Public Service Labour Relations Act take effect.  The hearings will be held in March – these were the earliest dates we were able to get – so back pay will not be available before the end of the fiscal year.  March 17 and 18 – AD, AS, PG and CS. March 19 and 20 – OP Group.  These hearings are open to the public.  Locations will be posted shortly.
