Title: The Facts of National Police Federation
1National Police Federation
2THE FACTS OF NATIONAL POLICE FEDERATION
- As police officers we are trained to engage and
overcome both the legitimate and perceived
threats to the public we are sworn to protect.
Today, members of the RCMP face a new threat the
ability for our employers, the Commissioner and
Treasury Board, to unilaterally roll back wages
and/or benefits with no opposition. This threat
will become a reality without a collective voice
to speak for members on terms and conditions of
employment like pay, benefits, promotions,
transfers etc. This sets us back 50 years in
terms of labour relations with our employers. We
need to react accordingly to contain and
eliminate this threat to the general membership,
we need the National Police Federation.
3WE must act NOW. Together not only can we contain
this threat, but we can push forward and ensure
that the members of this organization are
adequately supported, represented and compensated
while serving the public they have sworn to
protect
- These are the Quick Facts
January 16, 2015 the Supreme Court of Canada
(SCC) released its decision in MPAO v. Attorney
General of Canada. The SCC directed the Federal
Government to implement legislative changes,
within one year, to allow for members of the RCMP
to certify a bargaining agent. December 8th,
2015 the newly elected Federal Government applied
to the SCC for a 6 month extension to the one
year deadline in order to draft, table and pass
the required legislative changes to the Public
Service Labour Relations Act (PSLRA) to comply
with the MPAO decision.
4- On January 16th, 2016 the Commissioner of the
RCMP announced the creation of a new Member
Workplace Services Program (MWSP) that will
assist and guide members in the labour relations
world as an interim model until a bargaining
agent can be certified - On March 9th, 2016 the Federal Government
introduced Bill C-7 to comply with the SCC
decision and has until May 15th, 2016 to have C-7
receive Royal Assent.
The simple problem with the MWSP designed,
implemented and managed exclusively by RCMP
management is that members have no collective
voice it is individual assistance/guidance
only, there is no collective. Members will have
no national representation on issues such as pay,
health benefits, occupational safety and NCO
promotion process to name a few. This takes us
back several decades. This MWSP does not provide
meaningful labour relations in any way and the
membership cannot sit idly by, we must stand up
with the right organization that has the
necessary experience, passion and integrity.
5We ask you Do you trust RCMP management and
Treasury Board to have your best interests at
heart when making unilateral decisions regarding
(to name a few)
- Pay
- Benefits (health/dental)
- Transfers Promotions
- Member Safety
- Isolated Posts
- Sick Leave
- Kit and clothing (equipment)
6- As members, we are trained to take action we
have been placed in a corner and there is only
one option to represent your regional, national,
contract and federal interests - we need to take
action and ensure that there is a voice for the
membership of the RCMP at all tables that discuss
terms and conditions of employment. Every day
that passes, gives RCMP management the
opportunity to roll back and change benefits
without opposition. We need to act now! - We are the voice that provides the experience we
need. Join the National Police Federation now!
