BACKGROUND |
|
2.1 |
In anticipation of changes to
the Public Service Staff Relations Act, Treasury Board has identified
the requirement to amend the existing collective bargaining status structure.
Some of the current codes are not defined accurately and/or some of the
Bargaining Unit Designator (BUD) groups are not identified by the appropriate
codes. This situation has led to the misuse of codes by the client organizations.
Treasury Board has requested that this situation be rectified and has
proposed the creation of two new bargaining status codes.

3.2 |
Effective April 1, 2005, codes 26 and 52 are
used for employees in BUD groups 720 and 105 respectively.
