At the end of July, PSAC and Union of Taxation Employees (UTE) national bargaining committee held a meeting to prioritize the demands of members for the submission of their preliminary package to the PSAC collective bargaining team.
PSAC and the Union of Taxation Employees (UTE) has served notice to begin bargaining with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on behalf of 31,000 members across the country.
It has come to our attention that this payment has been clawed back for some members who were receiving Employment Insurance (EI) benefits at the time when they received the lump sum. This most notably applies to seasonal employees and those who were on parental leave. It may also apply to members who were on leave without pay due to illness or injury and who were receiving EI sickness benefits.
