The Invitation to Bargain Early and a Call for Membership Input
November 12, 2010
In an article posted on its web site on October 15 CAPE announced that it had accepted an invitation from Treasury Board to meet at the bargaining table prior to the expiration of the TR collective agreement and prior to the expiration of the EC collective agreement. These meetings will occur in the wake of a recent tentative settlement between the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and Treasury Board at 3 of the 5 PSAC tables and a rejection to meet by the 6 bargaining teams of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC). CAPE has prepared a Questions and Answers document on recent events and on the process ahead. The Qs & As also contains a call for input from members and e-mail addresses to which the input should be sent. Members should note that the invitation was from Treasury Board. As a result, the newly appointed bargaining committee for our members at the Library of Parliament will be preparing for negotiations according to the normal and expected calendar.
