This agreement is consistent with agreements reached by other federal law enforcement agencies and maintains the pay parity we achieved in the previous round of negotiations. It is a hard-fought agreement that is the result of the solidarity of PSAC/CIU members who work side by side at the CBSA. The interim agreement signed on Tuesday morning contains significant improvements to our collective agreement, demonstrating the strength and solidarity of membership in the PSAC/CIU CBSA. Our three-year contract includes: – In accordance with all other Treasury Board agreements, this interim agreement provides for the elimination of severance pay for employees who leave or retire. Under the new interim agreement, severance pay will continue to be paid if you are made redundant and do not accumulate otherwise. Any funds currently due to you under the current severance package provisions would be paid or could be transferred for future use. Workers continue to accumulate severance pay until the collective agreement is formally signed. No other group on the Treasury Board has held as long as the FB negotiating team has done to maintain the benefit of our severance pay or to get something we have done.

In terms of compensation, planning rights and protection, this agreement is considerably better than the final offer presented to our team in the spring and which the government attempted to impose a vote on last summer.
