Hello Sisters and Brothers,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As you know<\/a>, negotiations between your Union of Taxation Employees-PSAC bargaining team and the Canada Revenue Agency are at a standstill.\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As mentioned in the communique issued by our bargaining team on Friday, May 10, as well as in the video released on the same day, our negotiator contacted the Federal Public\r\nSector Labour Relations and Employment Board to reactivate our request for the establishment of a Public Interest Commission (PIC) to help the parties resolve their dispute.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In that video, I told our members that we would not sit idly by in such a situation and that we would inform them of the actions to be taken to make their dissatisfaction known\r\nto the employer and to federal MPs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Our members deserve a fair and equitable contract now!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In addition, while the PSAC will continue to negotiate with the federal government to obtain fair compensation for our members who continue to suffer damage as a result of the\r\nPhoenix payroll system, we must mobilize to increase pressure on the government.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It is time to stand up to the CRA and the government!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Enough is enough!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Here are the next steps<\/span><\/u><\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A video will be released tomorrow<\/span><\/b> in which I will inform members that I will send them an email\r\nmessage asking them to write to the Minister of National Revenue, the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, to tell her that she needs to make it right! We will provide them with a text that they can use, but they will also be able to modify this text to personalize\r\nit to their liking. By inserting their postal code into an electronic tool provided to them, a copy of the message will also be sent to the Member of Parliament for their riding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Please note that I will also forward this email to all Locals on Wednesday so that you can forward it to your members by email.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

This will help us reach as many members as possible.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But we need to do more.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We also need to talk to members of the House of Commons.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I will therefore ask all members of the Union of Taxation Employees (UTE) to contact their MP's office to make an appointment to express their dissatisfaction and ask their\r\nMP to pass the message on and put pressure on the Liberal government and the Canada Revenue Agency.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the video, I also inform members that a lobbying kit containing talking points has been sent to all our Locals and will be distributed to them as soon as possible.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You will find attached the lobbying kit containing talking points specific to the negotiations as well as another document containing talking points about Phoenix and the\r\ncompensation we are asking for our members and the issue of the Single Income-Tax Return in Quebec.\r\n<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I ask you to use this kit when you are lobbying MPs.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Please also provide the lobbying kit to your members through your regular communication channels such as your email distribution list and\/or by plantgating a paper copy at\r\nyour office. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

Finally, I ask all UTE Locals to continue to organize demonstrations of solidarity in the coming weeks to support our bargaining team and to maintain the pressure on the\r\nAgency.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I am aware that I am asking you a lot, but the issues we face are too important not to take action.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Each Regional Vice-President will be in contact with his or her Locals to follow up and provide any assistance you may require.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I have no doubt about your dedication to our members and our union and I sincerely thank you for your involvement and I am confident that together we can accomplish great things.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Solidarity is the key to success!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Bonjour consoeurs et confr\u00e8res,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Comme vous le savez, les n\u00e9gociations entre votre \u00e9quipe de n\u00e9gos du Syndicat des employ\u00e9-e-s de l\u2019Imp\u00f4t de l\u2019AFPC et celle de l\u2019Agence du revenu du Canada sont\r\nau point mort. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Tel que mentionn\u00e9 dans le communiqu\u00e9 \u00e9mis par notre \u00e9quipe de n\u00e9gociation vendredi le 10 mai dernier ainsi que dans le vid\u00e9o publi\u00e9 le m\u00eame jour, notre n\u00e9gociateur\r\na communiqu\u00e9 avec la Commission des relations de travail et de l\u2019emploi dans le secteur public f\u00e9d\u00e9ral afin de r\u00e9activer notre demande que soit \u00e9tabli une Commission de l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat public (CIP) afin d\u2019aider les parties \u00e0 r\u00e9gler leur diff\u00e9rend.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dans ce vid\u00e9o, j\u2019affirmais \u00e0 nos membres que nous ne resterions pas les bras crois\u00e9s devant une telle situation et que nous les informerions quant aux actions\r\n\u00e0 prendre afin de faire conna\u00eetre leur m\u00e9contentement \u00e0 l\u2019employeur ainsi qu\u2019aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s f\u00e9d\u00e9raux.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Nos membres m\u00e9ritent un contrat de travail juste et \u00e9quitable et ce d\u00e8s maintenant!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

De plus, bien que l\u2019AFPC poursuivra la n\u00e9gociation avec le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral afin d\u2019obtenir une juste compensation pour nos membres qui continuent de subir des\r\npr\u00e9judices \u00e0 cause du syst\u00e8me de paie Ph\u00e9nix, nous devons nous mobiliser afin d\u2019augmenter la pression sur le gouvernement.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il est temps de nous tenir debout face \u00e0 l\u2019ARC et au gouvernement!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Assez, c\u2019est assez!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Voici les prochaines \u00e9tapes<\/span><\/u><\/b> :<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Un vid\u00e9o sera publi\u00e9<\/span><\/b>\r\ndemain<\/b> dans lequel j\u2019informerai les membres que je leur ferai parvenir un message par courriel afin de leur demander d\u2019\u00e9crire \u00e0 la Ministre du Revenu national, l\u2019honorable Diane Lebouthillier, pour lui dire qu\u2019on veut que \u00e7a bouge! Nous leur fournirons\r\nun texte qu\u2019ils pourront utiliser mais il leur sera \u00e9galement possible de modifier ce texte afin de le personnaliser \u00e0 leur go\u00fbt. En ins\u00e9rant leur code postal dans un outil \u00e9lectronique qui leur sera fourni, le message sera \u00e9galement envoy\u00e9 en copie conforme\r\nau d\u00e9put\u00e9 f\u00e9d\u00e9ral de leur circonscription.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Veuillez prendre note que je ferai \u00e9galement parvenir ce courriel mercredi \u00e0 toutes les sections locales afin que vous puissiez le transmettre \u00e0 vos membres\r\npar courriel. Ceci nous aidera \u00e0 rejoindre le plus de membres possibles.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mais nous devons en faire plus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Nous devons aussi parler aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la Chambre des Communes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Je demanderai donc \u00e0 tous les membres du Syndicat des employ\u00e9-e-s de l\u2019Imp\u00f4t (SEI) de contacter le bureau de leur d\u00e9put\u00e9 afin de prendre rendez-vous pour faire\r\nconna\u00eetre leur m\u00e9contentement et demander \u00e0 leur d\u00e9put\u00e9 de passer le message et de mettre de la pression sur le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral et l\u2019Agence du revenu du Canada.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dans le vid\u00e9o, j\u2019informe aussi les membres qu\u2019une trousse de lobbying contenant des points de discussion a \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9e \u00e0 toutes nos sections locales et leur\r\nsera distribu\u00e9 par celles-ci dans les plus brefs d\u00e9lais.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Vous trouverez ci-joint la trousse de lobbying contenant des points de discussion sp\u00e9cifiques \u00e0 la n\u00e9gociation ainsi qu\u2019un autre document contenant des points\r\nde discussion au sujet de Ph\u00e9nix et des indemnit\u00e9s que nous demandons pour nos membres et concernant l\u2019enjeu du rapport d\u2019imp\u00f4t unique au Qu\u00e9bec.\r\n<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Je vous demande d\u2019utiliser cette trousse lorsque vous effectuerez vos activit\u00e9s de lobbying aupr\u00e8s des d\u00e9put\u00e9s.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Veuillez \u00e9galement remettre la trousse de lobbying \u00e0 vos membres par les canaux de communication habituels tels que via votre liste de distribution de courriels\r\net\/ou en effectuant une distribution en format papier \u00e0 la porte de votre bureau.\r\n<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Finalement, je demande \u00e0 toutes les sections locales du SEI de continuer \u00e0 organiser des d\u00e9monstrations de solidarit\u00e9 au cours des prochaines semaines afin de\r\nsoutenir notre \u00e9quipe de n\u00e9gociation et pour maintenir la pression sur l\u2019Agence.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Je suis conscient que je vous en demande beaucoup mais les enjeux auxquels nous faisons face sont trop importants pour ne pas prendre action.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Chaque Vice-pr\u00e9sident-e r\u00e9gional-e sera en contact avec ses sections locales afin d'effectuer les suivis n\u00e9cessaires et d'apporter l'aide dont vous pourriez avoir\r\nbesoin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Je n\u2019ai aucun doute concernant votre d\u00e9vouement envers nos membres et notre syndicat et je vous remercie sinc\u00e8rement de votre implication et je suis confiant qu\u2019ensemble\r\nnous pouvons accomplir de grandes choses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La solidarit\u00e9 est la cl\u00e9 du succ\u00e8s!<\/span><\/p>\r\n
