Collective bargaining update: Committee appointed

Collective Bargaining

Feb 9, 2022

The ACFO-ACAF Board of Directors has appointed the collective bargaining committee for the next round of negotiations with Treasury Board. The committee includes representatives from a range of departments and regions and with a variety of experience in the CT Community.

The committee will meet for the first time on March 19-20 to review submissions from the collective bargaining survey issued to members in the fall of 2021 and develop ACFO-ACAF’s bargaining proposals for the upcoming round of bargaining. While the CT-IAU (former AS) collective agreement expired in June 2021, the CT-EAV (former AU) and CT-FIN (former FI) agreements are set to expire this year, in June and November respectively.

The Board of Directors thanks all ACFO-ACAF members who completed the bargaining survey and who volunteered for the committee for their engagement and commitment to the CT Community. If you have any questions about the process or how the committee was selected, please contact Scott Chamberlain (schamberlain@acfo-acaf.com).
