In a long-awaited and unequivocal decision, the federal Pay Equity Commissioner has ruled in favour of all the unions that opposed Treasury Board's June 2022 request for multiple pay equity plans.

The Canadian Association of Professional Employees (CAPE) and the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) have signed the new collective agreements for the Economic and Social Science Services (EC) group and the Translation (TR) group.

CAPE is pleased to inform you that the Treasury Board Secretariat has ratified the tentative agreements for both groups. The signing of the new collective agreements is planned for Thursday, June 29 at CAPE’s office in downtown Ottawa, in the presence of bargaining teams. The signature will make the agreements, including the salary retroactivity, effective from that date. We look forward to providing next steps shortly.
