Bargain in good faith with Canada's public sector unions.

What success looks like

Collective agreements with Canada's public sector unions are fair and reasonable for employees and Canadians, and are bargained in good faith.

Government's narrative on progress

The Government of Canada is committed to building a culture of respect for, and within, the federal public service. For the 2014 round of bargaining, through good-faith negotiations, the government has reached 26 agreements with bargaining agents, representing over 99% of unionized employees in the core public administration. For the 2018 round of bargaining, the Employer engaged with all bargaining agents who have served notice to bargain. The government will continue to bargain in good faith with public sector unions and remains committed to negotiating collective agreements that are fair for public servants, and that serve to attract, retain, motivate and renew the workforce required to deliver results to Canadians.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
