On March 26, 2025, your RCMP Civilian Member Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement with Treasury Board and RCMP to conclude negotiations on the transition of Civilian Members into PIPSC collective agreements. We believe we have reached the best deal possible given a particularly challenging and restrictive set of circumstances.
Highlights of this tentative agreement include;
- One-time vacation leave adjustment of 5 days (40 hours) for entering the collective agreement
- One-time vacation leave allotment of 5 days (37.5 hours) within the collective agreements
- One-time retroactive adjustment of 2 days (15 hours) of Personal Leave with Pay for fiscal year 2024/2025 as well as 2 days (15 hours) for 20205/2026 and every fiscal year thereafter
- Maintenance of the RCMP unrestricted sick leave regime
- Maintenance of RCMP Relocation Directive including relocation on retirement
- Maintenance of RCMP Funeral and Burial entitlements
- Hourly rate of pay is not prorated to to reflect change from 40 hour workweek to 37.5 hour work week (increase in value of 6.6%)
- Vacation banks transfer will not be prorated (increase in value of 6.6%)
- Vacation liquidation provisions extended until March 31, 2027
- Access to family related leave (37.5 hours) every fiscal year
- Access to personal LWOP available twice in career
This agreement must now be ratified by the RCMP CM membership. An electronic vote will be held in order to ratify this agreement. All regular members in good standing will receive the voting instructions by email.
The voting will be open for a period beginning April 29, 2025 and closing at 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on May 6, 2025 .
Please ensure your membership information is up to date.
Important Information:
Bilingual webinars will be held to present the tentative agreement and answer questions from the membership. Members should have received a separate communication with the times of the webinars.
You will find all the information concerning the tentative agreements below. It is important that you take the time to review everything prior to voting and prior to asking questions to the Bargaining Team.
Please review the attached documents:
- Summary of Changes
- Part I – Memorandum of Settlement
- Part II – Group Specific Collective Agreement Changes
- Part III – Memorandum of Agreement
A “Yes” vote means: You are accepting all of the changes proposed in the tentative transition agreement. The Employer has indicated all changes will be implemented within four (4) months of signing the agreement (except where extensions have been negotiated).
A “No” vote means: You reject the tentative agreement and instruct the Bargaining Team to withdraw from negotiations with the Treasury Board and the RCMP. This means that CMs may be forced into the collective agreement without their superior benefits. This means that CMs will not have any of their RCMP terms and conditions safeguarded by this negotiated agreement (e.g., unrestricted sick leave, relocation upon retirement, funeral and burial entitlements, prorated bank transfer, prorated hourly rate, extensions of leave bank thresholds, etc.) or receive a one-time allotment of five (5) days of leave or retroactivity on two (2) personal days from 2024/2025.
In Solidarity,
Your RCMP CM Bargaining Team
