Sisters, Brothers and Friends,\r\n\r\n
The Executive Council of the Union of Taxation Employees (UTE) held a special meeting today (Sunday) to discuss the top-up of strike pay for our UTE members who have been participating in the strike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
We are pleased to announce that members who are on strike and receiving strike pay from the PSAC will receive a top up of $50 per day from UTE, effective Monday, April 24, 2023<\/u>. Having said this, it will be necessary to closely monitor these additional payments and to ensure that these top-ups will not deplete the financial resources available to the union to continue to deliver services to its members in other matters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pursuant to UTE By-Laws and Regulations, resolutions become effective upon passage of the resolution. Accordingly, this top-up will not be paid retroactively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
We have made arrangements with the PSAC that they will issue this top-up on our behalf and invoice us for the cost. Members will not have to do anything extra to receive this top-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This action was taken in order to provide you with additional financial support during the strike and to send a very strong message to Treasury Board and the Canada Revenue Agency that UTE is fully committed to supporting the efforts of its members in achieving a fair and reasonable collective agreement. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
In closing, I want to thank you again for your activism and collectivity in supporting your bargaining team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Together we will prevail!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
