This past week marked the first phase of negotiating monetary demands, and we want to provide you with a detailed...

Our negotiating team has been working closely with CSN actuarial experts and economists considering the outcomes of other law agency negotiations, to finalize our monetary package. This comprehensive approach ensures that our proposals are well-informed and strategically sound.
We will resume negotiations on June 12 and 13. These sessions will be crucial as we move towards negotiating the key priorities, mandated by the membership. Your support and solidarity remain essential as we strive to secure the best possible working conditions for all members.
The proposal we have tabled is the largest in the history of UCCO-SACC-CSN. Our working conditions are unique. Our monetary demands recognize this and the dangers facing our members.
Here are some major points to remember:
- 13% for the first year.
- 4% for each subsequent year.
- 4-year collective agreement.
- Annual bonus of $5,000.
- A COVID bonus.
To reach a satisfactory agreement, we will need the support of each and every one of our members. Your regional executives and members of the Negotiating Committee will meet with you to explain our monetary demands and answer your questions.
In solidarity.
On December 14, we shared our collective and global agreement demands with the employer. Attached you will find our union’s demands, as well as the demands submitted to us by the employer: the Department (CSC), for our global agreement, and the Treasury Board, for our collective agreement. You will notice, upon reviewing the employer’s demands, that for some of these demands—especially in the collective agreement—the employer has not submitted specific language but, instead, a placeholder in order to have discussions on certain articles. Although this is not an abnormal practice for the employer, we would like to assure our members that when, at the negotiation table, we receive information that clarifies the employer’s position, that information will be shared with you. What is most important at this point is that we stay focused on our demands, rally behind them, and show the employer that we will achieve them together because we are Proud, United, and Strong.
