PSAC Bargaining Units with Treasury Board (PA, SV, TC, EB, FB)

The SV Team was once again back at the table for a session with the employer from May 20 to 22, 2008.

We provided language around unresolved Ship's Crews demands to the employer , and they provided us a copy of their outstanding proposals.

•  SEE the demands for your bargaining unit
•  See the employer's demands for your bargaining unit

Apprenticeship language, which was signed off at our session in February but still required the pay grid to be completed, is now finalized and signed off.

We renewed the following Articles:

• Article 20  Sexual Harassment
• Article 29  Overtime(Excluding amount for meal allowances)
• Article 47  Court Leave
• Article 49  Education Leave Without Pay
• Article 50  Career Development  Leave
• Article 51  Examination Leave With Pay
• Article 54  Statement of Duties
• Article 55  Duty Aboard Vessels
• Article 64  Medical Appointment for Pregnant Employees
• Article 66  Trade Certification Fees

The Employer did not move on Injury on Duty Leave or on Maternity -Related Reassignment or Leave. On the Maternity Related, they did not see themselves giving leave with pay because they feared  the spill-over into other groups  that have similar hazardous working conditions, such as SV workplaces. 

The  Employer also responded to our pay proposal :

• No movement on ZONES
• No movement on Market Adjustments (Pay  Study)
• No movement on Allowances
• Economic increases;
  1. Effective August 5th, 2007 - 1.5%
  2. Effective August 5th, 2008 - 1.5%
  3. Effective August 5th, 2009 - 1.2%
  4. Effective August 5th, 2010 - 1.2%

The employer's responses at the table are not what one would expect from “the employer of choice” that the Government of Canada claims to be.

Your SV Team,

Blair Winger
Donna Gourley
Randy Sanderson
Glenn Horman
Steve Van Opstal
Robert D. Spencer
Melvin Dureen

No Zones!
We want to be treated equally in the
evaluation of the value of our work.
