CS Group: We are waiting to see what happens with the Canada Revenue Agency group as they are awaiting the results of their Conciliation Board hearing.  They may be in a strike position shortly.  The Treasury Board CS group is scheduled to go back to the table at the end of June.  We are keeping a close eye on all these developments.

OP Group: The new collective agreement was signed on May 25.  NRC has 90 days in which to implement the terms of this agreement.  On another front, we are working with a classification consultant in reviewing both Controller and PLA jobs with a view to having more appropriate comparisons for the next round of bargaining.

PG Group: – Bargaining demands have been finalized and submitted to NRC.  We have notified NRC that we wish to begin bargaining as soon as possible.

TO Group: – Bargaining took place on June 13 and 14.   Many non-pay issues were resolved.  The next bargaining dates are scheduled for July 20-22.  At this time we expect that NRC will be in a position to discuss all outstanding issues including rates of pay.
