Candidate

Candidate for Vice-President (Full-Time)

Allaudin Alibhai

(Regular member)

Plans as your PIPSC Vice-President:

  • Strengthen the three core pillars of the union.  Specifically, Bargaining, Representation and Consultation so we can better negotiate for higher salaries than the core public service.
  • Improve our Pension, Medical and Dental Benefits so they better reflect our member’s needs.  Recent changes have created greater inequities between current and retirement benefits and has created a two-tier Pension System for new employees.
  • Establish a mentoring program for new and young members so they can broadly participate in union committees and Employer Consultations. 


 

Bargaining 

  • Ensuring that all PIPSC Members receive a fair wage increase for their professional services.
  • Ensure that Bargaining Groups are provided support and complete research including the latest private sector salary comparables.
  • In 2026 Bilingual (CBC) Requirement for all supervisory positions will take place and we need to have Language Training provided so members have an opportunity for career progression.

Representation

  • Members look to the union for advice and help when dealing with management in times of work and personal crisis.
  • PIPSC needs additional Employment Relations Officers (ERO) to ensure that cases which cannot be resolved by the Local Steward are dealt with in a timely manner.

Consultation

  • Local and National Union meet with management on regular basis to discuss concerns and issues that affect all employees on all topics such as Health & Safety.
  • Dedicated subject matter experts from PIPSC need to be available to assist Consultation Teams in discussions with the Employer. 
  • During the Pandemic as AFS Chair on Health and Safety; regular meetings with CRA were held to ensure that the concerns regarding health and safety including mental health and work-related stress were being addressed.
  • When the Canadian Labour Code was not being followed, I successfully took CRA to Federal Court in ALLAUDIN ALIBHAI v. CANADA REVENUE AGENCY (T-1102-17) 

Experience:

  • Audit Financial & Scientific (AFS) Group National Executive September 2013 to present

(NCR-IT Region Representative)

  • Steward March 1994 to present
  • AFS Bargaining Team September 2013 to present
  • AFS National Consultation Team September 2013 to present
    • Chair of AFS National Health and Safety Policy Committee
  • AFS NCR-IT Subgroup President May 2010 to February 2018
  • PIPSC Mobilizer October 2014 to present
