New collective agreements signed for PA and EB groups

What happens now ?

Background

  • On December 1, 2010, PSAC ratified collective agreements for the PA and EB groups
  • Upon ratification, the first step was to re-open the current collective agreements for these groups.
  • This “re-opener” entailed modifying current collective agreements to include non-monetary improvements negotiated. 
  • On March 1, 2011, the new collective agreements were signed for the PA and EB groups
  • The following are the provisions that took effect December 21, 2010 (date of re-opener),  March 1, 2011 (date of signing for PA and EB), and that will take effect in June and July, 2011(PA and EB)
