Yukon Government Bargaining Update #1 – Bargaining has begun

We met with the YG bargaining team at the Canada Games Centre in Whitehorse on October 7-11.

Here is the bargaining proposals given to the employer by your bargaining team this past week.

These proposals came from membership input this past spring and summer and were further explored at the more recent Bargaining Conference in September.

Bargaining Process

Normally, we begin with non-monetary items and resolve them before proceeding to wages, premiums, and benefits. If the language is bolded, it is new, if the language has strike-throughs the proposal is to delete. RESERVE means we need more information from the employer or that it will be a monetary proposal.

Questions?

We will be providing you with periodic updates on the bargaining process and our bargaining proposals. If you have any questions that you cannot see answered on the website, email here: YGbargaining@psac-afpc.com

Our next set of bargaining dates will be Nov 18-22 in Whitehorse.

  • The bargaining agenda for that week will be a number of the discussion items from page 17 of the proposals: status of Conflict Management Services, the Investigation Office and RWO procedures, grievances, etc.
  • Current classification system and classification appeals process.
  • The status of Community Health Nursing.
  • The status of Health and Wellness Yukon and the implementation plan going forward.

In solidarity with your bargaining team,
