The AFS Bargaining Team met with senior CRA officials on Thursday, March 29th to sign the new AFS Collective Agreement and bring it into force. This collective agreement runs from December 22, 2014 to December 21, 2018.
We are pleased that this new agreement introduces numerous improvements to our members’ rights and brings in long awaited pay increases for all of our AFS members.
We will be holding regular meetings with CRA management to receive updates on the implementation of the collective agreement and ensure that deadlines are met.
Thanks to all of our AFS members and stewards for their support throughout this long process.
