CRPEG Negotiation Update Feb 29, 2024

Dear CRPEG Members,

We’re writing to provide you with an update on the recent round of negotiations between our union and the company.

The company provided their responses to our administrative proposals. CRPEG team reviewed and crafted a well-considered counterproposal. These exchanges are crucial as we work towards mutually beneficial agreements.

Engaging discussions were at the heart of this session. We delved into various topics, exploring real-world scenarios and carefully weighing options. 

In addition to addressing specific proposals, we took the opportunity to deliver a presentation regarding change in the Canada Labour Code related to time off in lieu of overtime, reasonable expenses, and break time. While we did not propose a specific resolution at this time, we brought this important matter to their attention and addressed any questions they had.

In regard to hours of work, it’s such an important issue that you will be invited to participate in a survey to help us develop a solution. We will be drafting a resolution based on your input, gathered through the survey.

Negotiations demand considerable effort to ensure fair and appropriate outcomes. Future negotiation sessions are scheduled for April, May, June and July. We continue to advocate for your rights and interests.

As always, we value your input. Please share your comments, questions, or feedback with us at crpeg_negotiations@pipsc.ca

Thank you for your continued support!

In solidarity,

Your Negotiations Team
