The CAPE RCMP CM Bargaining Team met with the employer (RCMP and Treasury Board Secretariat) on July 17-18 and September 25-27, 2024.
Discussions took place regarding the collective bargaining proposals on behalf of RCMP CMs in the Economics, Social Sciences and Research RCMP sub-group (SPS-ESS) covered by the Economics and Social Sciences (EC) agreement and the Interpreter/Translator RCMP sub-group (SPS-TRL) covered by the Translation (TR) agreement.
Topics discussed during the past two meetings include:
The intricacies and differences between the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act and the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act (FPSLRA) as they apply to CMs
The differences between the grievance processes available to CMs (under the RCMP act vs. under FPSLRA)
Workforce adjustment in case of discharge for the promotion of economy and efficiency in the Force
Severance pay provisions
Mental health and reintegration into the workplace (graduated return to work)
Vacation, sick leave, and disability insurance
The bargaining team will meet again with the employer at the end of November 2024 to continue discussions.
