\nFederal Council on December 5 and 6, 2023 : Negotiations update<\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n\r\nAt the Federal Council on December 5 and 6, 2023, delegates heard the Negotiating Committee\u2019s progress report.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSince November 28, the date when the new series of strike days was announced, work has intensified at the table. The parties are now negotiating every day and almost every evening. This has allowed your Negotiating Committee to advance a few demands.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nBut there is still a lot more to do. Your committee is currently discussing premiums, retirement, parental rights, organization of work time, and self scheduling. In some cases, the progress is within reach, whereas in others, we are still far from an agreement. However, even while negotiations are intensifying, the matters of overtime, on-call, and ratios remain unresolved.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAs these words were being written, the employer party was submitting a new offer on intersectoral matters (i.e., salary), with the offer increased to 12.7% over 5 years. Unsurprisingly, the delegation rejected this new offer<\/a> at the council. While this offer was clearly insufficient, the fact that the employer submitted a third salary offer is the proof that our pressure tactics are working.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen will there be an agreement?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nUp until now, we can say that our strategy is working. The different series of strike days have caused an unequivocal change in the employer party\u2019s attitude. Now, it is discussing our solutions, which it was refusing to do since negotiations began a year ago. What\u2019s more, the pressure generated by the Common Front and the FAE, the CAQ\u2019s drop in popularity, and the strong public support for our demands are also playing in our favour.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nUnfortunately, the results to date are still insufficient. We deplore the fact that the employer party has waited so long before starting real discussions at the table. It\u2019s very disappointing<\/strong>, and we will no doubt have to show further patience before we see an offer that is worth submitting to our members.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nContinuing the strike<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn this context, we must keep up the pressure: mobilization must continue with the same intensity, if not more, until we reach a satisfying agreement for you and your colleagues.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe next days will be decisive. The majority of our demands are still being discussed or will be very soon. Moreover, the government also has demands for greater flexibility, which your Negotiating Committee must counter. Your mobilization is absolutely crucial if we want to obtain significant gains for our top three priorities: salary, workload, and personal life-work balance![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_column_text]\r\n
