A number of key issues were discussed with the Agency over the course of the week.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

Our PSAC\/UTE bargaining team met with the CRA from July 3 to 5 to continue negotiations for a new collective agreement. Some of the issues discussed included:<\/p>\r\n

  1. Increased work-life balance for PSAC-UTE members at CRA. Our team again highlighted for the Agency the need for an increase in leave access for employees under our new agreement. <\/li>\r\n
  2. Vacation scheduling. Our bargaining team has made proposals to fix on-going problems with vacation scheduling at the Agency.<\/li>\r\n
  3. There were discussions concerning call centres. Our team pointed out again that working conditions in CRA call centres are poor and that we are looking for language that would greatly improve them, including scheduling rights and enhanced protections for call centre workers.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Term employment. We reiterated that the union is looking for mechanisms that protect against excessive term employment at CRA and provide for more permanent work<\/li>\r\n
  5. Evening and shift work. We are looking for protections against the expansion of shift work at CRA, and new rights for employees scheduled to work evenings. <\/li>\r\n<\/ol>

    We resolved a number of housekeeping matters with the Agency this week and agreed on language ensuring that our agreement is gender neutral. A copy of our proposals and those of the employer can be found on the UTE and PSAC websites. We will be tabling wage proposals at a future date once we have received and analyzed the employer\u2019s payroll data. <\/p>\r\n

    We are scheduled to resume negotiations in September. We\u2019ll be sure to provide updates as things progress.<\/p>\r\n

    Les parties ont discut\u00e9 de questions cl\u00e9s au cours de la semaine.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

    Du 3 au 5 juillet, notre \u00e9quipe de n\u00e9gociation de l\u2019AFPC-SEI a rencontr\u00e9 l\u2019ARC pour\r\npoursuivre les n\u00e9gociations en vue de conclure une nouvelle convention collective.\r\nVoici quelques-unes des questions ayant fait l\u2019objet de discussions :<\/p>\r\n

    1. \u00c9quilibre travail-vie personnelle. Notre \u00e9quipe a r\u00e9it\u00e9r\u00e9 l\u2019importance\r\nd\u2019am\u00e9liorer l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux cong\u00e9s pour les employ\u00e9s de l\u2019Agence. <\/li>\r\n
    2. Calendrier des cong\u00e9s annuels. Nous avons propos\u00e9 des solutions pour\r\nr\u00e9gler les probl\u00e8mes r\u00e9currents concernant le calendrier des cong\u00e9s annuels.<\/li>\r\n
    3. Centres d\u2019appels. Nous avons rappel\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019employeur que les conditions de\r\ntravail dans les centres d\u2019appels de l\u2019ARC sont m\u00e9diocres. Nous r\u00e9clamons\r\ndes dispositions afin d\u2019am\u00e9liorer grandement ces conditions, y compris les\r\ndroits li\u00e9s aux horaires de travail et de meilleures protections pour les\r\ntravailleurs et travailleuses.<\/li>\r\n
    4. Emploi pour une p\u00e9riode d\u00e9termin\u00e9e. Nous voulons aussi des protections\r\ncontre le recours abusif \u00e0 l\u2019emploi pour une p\u00e9riode d\u00e9termin\u00e9e et\r\nl\u2019augmentation du nombre d\u2019emplois permanents.\r\n<\/li>\r\n
    5. Travail de poste et de soir. Nous r\u00e9clamons des protections contre\r\nl\u2019expansion du travail par poste et de nouveaux droits pour les travailleuses et\r\ntravailleurs de soir.\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>

      Nous avons r\u00e9gl\u00e9 un certain nombre de questions administratives et avons convenu\r\nd\u2019utiliser un langage neutre dans la nouvelle convention. Vous trouverez nos\r\nrevendications et les propositions de l\u2019employeur sur les sites Web de l\u2019AFPC et du\r\nSEI. Nous pr\u00e9senterons nos revendications salariales une fois que nous aurons\r\nre\u00e7u et analys\u00e9 les donn\u00e9es de l\u2019employeur sur la paye. <\/p>\r\n

      D\u2019autres s\u00e9ances de n\u00e9gociation sont pr\u00e9vues en septembre. Nous vous tiendrons\r\nau courant de la situation.<\/p>\r\n

      N\u2019h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 consulter les sites Web www.ute-sei.org\/fr<\/a> et www.syndicatafpc.ca<\/a> pour\r\nd\u2019autres renseignements et pour vous inscrire pour recevoir des mises \u00e0 jour\r\nr\u00e9guli\u00e8res. En outre, si vous avez des questions, vous pouvez aussi communiquer\r\navec le pr\u00e9sident ou la pr\u00e9sidente de votre section locale.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
