In a victory for Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) members who have gone out of their way to support Canadians during this pandemic, PSAC-UTE has reached an agreement in principle that includes fair wages, no concessions and better working conditions. Regular updates on collective bargaining will be released as new information becomes available. We would like to thank the members of both bargaining teams who contributed to the successful conclusion of this round of collective bargaining by working in a climate of cooperation and mutual respect. The new collective agreement will come into force on November 13, 2020 and will apply from November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2021 inclusive. From the date of signature, the credit rating agency has 180 days to implement the provisions of the collective agreement, including retroactive remuneration. Details of the collective agreement can be found on the PSAC-UTE website. The Union of Tax Employees (UTE) represents more than 27,000 employees of the Canada Revenue Agency. It is a member of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. It is organized into 60 (1) locals, from St.

With the signing of the new collective agreement, this round of negotiations is over. We look forward to continuing to work closely with PSAC-UTE and supporting the interests of workers and Canadians in future collective bargaining.” In 1966, with the advent of free collective bargaining in the federal public service, the UTE joined the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) as a “tax component.” In parallel with our agreement at the negotiating table, the rating agency agreed with UTE to change its policy of renewing the terms. Long-term employees no longer have to wait 5 years for sustainability. Temporary employees must now be permanently employed by the rating agency after 3 years of employment. More details will follow shortly.
