2018 Collective Agreement Retroactive Payments for Employees

PSAC and Treasury Board today signed new collective agreements for the Programs and Administrative Services (CP) and Technical Services (TB) groups, which were ratified by members on September 29. Both collective bargaining units have more than 80,000 employees in the federal public sector. PSAC and Treasury Board also signed the Phoenix Damage Agreement reached this summer. Now is the time to talk to your colleagues about the importance of the union. Management has not only ”decided” to give postal workers a retroactive salary increase and salary. The formal signing of the agreements today means that, with the exception of monetary policy provisions, which apply retroactively, new contractual conditions will enter into force. Treasury Board now has 180 days to implement salary increases, salary adjustments and allowances. As explained in the contract ratification packages, the CASP negotiated a lump sum payment of $500 for the members of these new contracts in light of this extended implementation period, which is typically 90 days. In addition, as of November 21, the annual base salary for each tier will be increased by 1.0% for career employees and 2.0% for PSE (PSE do not receive a COLA). During negotiations and interest arbitration, management sought to eliminate these deserved benefits, advocating to convert the COLA into a one-time lump sum payment. However, the syndicate prevailed and all THE GAAs were retained for the duration of the contract, including retroactive payments.

The APWU is now the only postal association that has protected and maintained complete COLA. ”These hard-earned retroactive payments and cost-of-living adjustments would not be part of this agreement without the work of members who are agitating on the workspace floor, testifying at interest arbitration tribunal hearings and participating in our contract campaign,” said Vance Zimmerman, Director of Labour Relations. ”I would like to thank all the members who participated for their efforts to secure this important part of our contract.” Employees who worked during the return period will receive the higher rates due for that work. Employees who have been transferred, separated, dismissed or retired will be compensated for any time worked during which higher rates were due. The AV, NR, RE, SH, PS, NRC (LS, IR, RO-RCO, TR), CRA (AFS), OSFI, CNSC (NUREG), NEB and NFB groups have negotiated and ratified new collective agreements. Some political groups continue their important work at the negotiating table. We stand in solidarity for a fair agreement for each ICSPIP member. ”I also want to thank our APWU sisters and brothers in the IT/AS unit who had to thoroughly reprogram the payroll system to ensure that all hours, differences, and salary/level levels were properly included in retroactive compensation,” continued Zimmerman, Director of Labor Relations. Members of the Education and Library Science (EB), Operating Services (OAS) and PSAC-UTE (Canada Revenue Agency) groups have also recently ratified their interim agreements. PSAC is working with Treasury Board to finalize the text and payment grids of the new agreements and expects the new contracts to be signed in the coming weeks.

In accordance with the provisions of the 2018-2020 National Agreement, employees will receive four retroactive salary increases: Employees began receiving salaries at current rates during the 09-2020 pay period as of April 11, 2020. Retroactive payments for the national agreement will cover the period from 24 November 2018 to 10 April 2020. ”Members` commitment to the Fighting Today for a Better Tomorrow campaign has been key to a good union contract that includes retroactive compensation and full COLA,” said President Mark Dimondstein. ”We must now renew our commitment to One Team, One Fight while protecting these hard-won victories from hostile management, service cuts and attacks by privatizers.” The higher rates will result in adjustments to the TSP, retirement, terminal leave payments and life insurance. Retirees may receive all necessary adjustments to pension payments, including retroactive pension adjustments. Thanks to our collective strength, ”it pays to be unionized.” Your union is the reason for your recent pay increase and retroactive paycheque. The APWU also provides every postal worker with a voice at work and the opportunity to enforce a safe workplace. Retroactive payments for salary increases under the 2018-2021 collective agreement were planned for the period 18-2020, paycheque of September 4, 2020 – subject to unexpected problems or changes to the system. In addition, as of August 29, 2020, career employees received an increase of $208 per year ($0.10 per hour), which was reflected in their paycheques on September 18. Postal Support Employees (PSAs) who do not receive COLA received a salary increase of $0.20 per hour in May 2020.

We have started these negotiations to reach a key agreement that recognizes and supports it – and we have achieved results. In recent days, members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) have received phoenix damages. These payments are part of the collective agreement recently negotiated between PSAC and Treasury Board. CAPE had worked diligently with other bargaining agents to obtain a letter of intent that would provide our members with benefits equivalent to or greater than those of the PSAC.

As this issue continues, most APWU members received their retroactive salaries in their September 4 paychecks. This retroactive compensation is the additional payment to which the 2018 and 2019 salary increases and cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) from November 2018 to April 2020 are entitled under the 2018-2021 collective agreement.
