To All Members:

The Collective Agreement between CRPEG and Atomic Energy of Canada expires on June 30, 2014.  In order to assist your Bargaining Committee during the upcoming bargaining round, we would appreciate that you complete the following questionnaire.  The results of this survey, together with information from previous questionnaires, and other problems with the current collective agreement, which have come to the attention of your Group Executive and the PIPSC Representative/Negotiator, will enable your Bargaining Committee to determine the issues to be addressed.  Your cooperation is essential to help the Committee draft the Group’s bargaining proposals.

All individual responses will be treated anonymously and in strict confidence by the Executive/Negotiating Team and Institute analysts.

If you have any additional comments or suggestions or if you wish to discuss any concerns you may have regarding collective bargaining in greater detail, please contact Vince Frisina or Jonathan Fitzpatrick.

The deadline for the survey is November 22, 2013.

Thank you for your assistance.
