Members of the committee will work closely with ACFO-ACAF staff to review the results of our Collective Bargaining survey, identify priorities, and conduct vital research that will be utilized in the upcoming round of bargaining for the Comptrollership (CT) Collective Agreement.
A look ahead at bargaining
The current landscape of the federal public service will present several obstacles to our bargaining efforts. The employer has made it clear that cutting costs is their top priority and increasing your wages is ours. At other bargaining tables, the employer has already proposed increases that are significantly lower than inflation, and ACFO-ACAF will not negotiate compensation terms that represent a pay-cut in relative terms.
Hybrid work arrangements have been identified as the second highest priority for members, and the employer has not demonstrated a willingness to change course on their unilateral return-to-office mandates. We know that flexible hybrid work arrangements benefit both employees and the employer by increasing productivity, improving work-life balance, reducing costs, and decreasing the environmental impacts of traffic congestion and lengthy commutes.
While it’s important to understand these challenges, it should not be forgotten that ACFO-ACAF represents the collective voice of its members, and we remain committed to advocating on your behalf at the bargaining table.
Upcoming committee meetings
The committee held its first virtual meeting on June 30 to discuss the preliminary results of the Collective Bargaining survey. An in-person meeting is also scheduled for September 25–27 in Ottawa.
The Board of Directors appreciates all ACFO-ACAF members who completed the bargaining survey and who volunteered for the committee for their engagement and commitment to the CT Community.
