Table 3: Vote to determine the dispute settlement route
Published by Patrick November 3rd, 2006 in Bargaining, Treasury Board Tags: Bargaining, tc, Treasury Board.On October 3rd, 2006 the PSAC National Board of Directors adopted a motion allowing a vote to be conducted by the 10,000 members of the Technical Services Group at Treasury Board. This vote will determine whether this group chooses the conciliation/strike or the arbitration route for its next round of bargaining.
The vote will be conducted by mail ballot. Members will be receiving their mailing kits at home by mid-November and will have until December 11th, 2006, to return their ballot to the PSAC.Â
Once the ballots are counted and verified, the results will be announced by the PSAC. Under the Public Service Labour Relations Act, the members have to choose between conciliation/strike or arbitration before the PSAC serves the notice to bargain to Treasury Board. This is why this vote has to take place at this time.
- Visit the national website for letter by National President John Gordon explaining why PSAC favours the conciliation/strike route.
- Visit the national website to read a leaflet that gives an outlook of each option.
