Update on Standby Duty

We want to give you a quick update on Standby Duty.  We await Treasury Board's official response to the SCC ruling which concluded that standby duty without compensation is unfair and unreasonable.  We have informed TB that we expect an interim resolution that respects the principles of the SCC ruling before the end of this week.  

In the event the parties are unable to find a resolution before the end of this week, the AJCwill be asking TB to provide direction to all departments and agencies banning all forms of standby duty.

Rest assured that the AJC is considering all of its options in the event the parties are unable to resolve the standby duty issue.

We will provide you with a further update during the week of November 20.
