Minister Clement Announces Third Tentative Agreement Reached with Public Sector Unions in a Month
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/01/13 -- The Honourable Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board, today announced that the Government of Canada has reached its third tentative agreement with a public sector union in the span of a month, underscoring the Government's commitment to reaching fair and reasonable settlements that protect the interests of both employees and taxpayers.
A tentative agreement was reached early this morning with the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the union representing the Technical Services (TC) Group. Together with two previous tentative agreements reached with correctional officers and aviation inspectors, the Government has reached settlements involving more than 18,000 public sector workers since July 4.
"Through fair and reasonable negotiations we have been able to reach a tentative settlement with the Technical Services Group on a new collective agreement," said Minister Clement. "This is the same balanced and consistent approach which has allowed the Government to settle 24 of 27 collectively bargained agreements in the core public service."
The offer is consistent with settlements reached with other groups in the core public administration and is aligned with what is offered by other public- and private-sector employers. The Technical Services Group represents 10,850 employees in six classification groups responsible for drafting, illustration, photography, inspection and engineering support.
Further information regarding collective bargaining matters can be found on the on the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat website.
