Bargaining Update 14

The AJC negotiations team met with Treasury Board negotiators on December 19 and 20. Some progress was made on technical changes and minor issues. 

However, TB rejected our proposals on pay and on compensatory leave and made no counter proposals.  TB tabled no proposal to address the fact that federal government lawyers are paid significantly less than their provincial counterparts for doing the same work. 

The AJC negotiations team has declared an impasse and bargaining is over. We are now preparing for "binding conciliation" in 2017.  We will keep you updated.
