Management offer to the APTS-FIQ alliance
After two weeks of dead silence, on May 21 the Treasury Board Secretariat called the APTS-FIQ alliance's representatives to a meeting. The management side tabled a written proposal. This submission had also been presented to all the public-sector unions.
This proposal reiterates the main aspects of the exploratory offer that management had presented on April 27. What's different now is that the Treasury Board Secretariat is proposing separate bargaining sessions for sectoral matters. Management seems to have toned down its urgent push for a tentative agreement, and is now proposing a pace of talks that, while unremitting, will allow us to tackle the overall set of isssues raised by our members.
The government presented the same salary parameters as at the outset of negotiations last December:
April 1, 2020
1.75% pay increase + lump-sum payment proportional to hours worked
April 1, 2021
1.75% pay increase + lump-sum payment proportional to hours worked
April 1, 2022
1.5% pay increase for rankings 12 to 28
