Bargaining for FB and TC Treasury Board units starts with conferences

Every group had issues that were specific to them

The three groups that reached tentative agreements had their issues addressed

The TCs and the FBS had specific issues

That the employer would not address

So they did not arrive at an agreement

For good reason.

We're supporting their decision

And we'll take them into a normal round bargaining

as quickly as we can.

We have conferences set up for January

We'll get into bargaining early

and take them on through that procees.
