EC/ESS Bargaining

Hybrid

Bargaining with Treasury Board begins on December 3 and 4, 2026.

You gave a mandate to your Bargaining Committee. Now it's time to act and continue building the collective power you need to win what you need.

There will be several ways to participate on December 3 and 4, in-person or online. Union leave will be provided for the first day of bargaining on December 3. For the second day on December 4, no union leave is available; personal leave is required.

The location for in-person will be announced shortly, but it will be in Ottawa and accessible by transit. Exact hours will also be confirmed shortly, but the first day will be 9 pm to 5 pm ET (for union leave), plus the report-back session at 7 pm ET.

Use the registration forms to tell us how you'd like to participate.
 

➡️Register to participate on December 3 in-person or online, with union leave

➡️Join the virtual report back after bargaining ends on December 3 at 7 pm ET to hear what happened at the table, ask questions, and talk about what comes next.

➡️Register to participate on December 4 in-person or online, using personal leave
 

The stakes are high, and we are ready with clear proposals that address the major issues you face, whether it’s enshrining protections for telework or controlling the rollout of AI in your work lives. But those proposals won't be won without you and your coworkers.

Can’t make it on December 3 or 4? Throughout bargaining, you'll be able to attend bargaining and visit the EC/ESS Bargaining webpage, where you will be able to read all bargaining updates and view the proposal tracker once bargaining starts.

This round of bargaining belongs to you. December 3 is the first opportunity to show it.
