New CRPEG Website

CRPEG has switched to a new service provider and changed its web site.  The new web site uses open source blogging software available at WordPress.org.  We hope you like the new look and feel of the web site.

The website address remains the same – www.crpeg.ca.  Comments and suggestions about the web site can be emailed to crpeg@crpeg.ca or the webmaster Bill Richmond at DN 43860.

Official Signing of CRPEG Collective Agreement

The CRPEG Collective Agreement for 2011 July 01 to 2014 June 30 was officially signed in a ceremony held at CRL yesterday afternoon.

The agreement is now available on myAECL at under “Employee Central”, “Employee Relations”, “Chalk River Professional Employees Group”.  The link from crpeg.ca (from the black menu bar – under “Documents”, “CRPEG Contract”) will be updated shortly.

Pocket size copies of the contract will be distributed to the membership in the future.

We would like to take this opportunity to again thank PIPSC for their support through the negotiation process, especially Jamie Dunn (PIPSC Negotiator), Pippa Gherson (PIPSC Research Officer) and Gary Corbett (PIPSC President).
