2. • The FPSLREB has announced that the outcome of
RCMP Civilian Members’ (Intercept Monitor &
Telecommunications Operator group) certification vote
supported certifying CUPE as their bargaining agent. We
congratulate our Civilian Member colleagues on this
decision. Of note, CUPE made their application to the
FPSLREB in December 2016 and the vote results come
approximately 14 months later. The vote was held from
January 22 to February 4, 2017.
3. • Anyone interested in following the CUPE certification process can find more
information here. (https://choose.cupe.ca/)
• While we are currently awaiting the FPSLREB’s decision on the timing and
process implications of the hearing on the constitutional validity of Bill C-7
(https://npf-fpn.com/federal-public-service-labour-relations-employment-
board-grants-qmpma-request-to-review-bill-c-7/), it’s reasonable to anticipate
that the timing of your vote on whether to certify NPF as your national
representative may be similar. The NPF made application in April 2017 and
we are 10 months into the process. While progress hasn’t been as quick as
we would like, it is within the realm of other similar processes.
4. • We’ll continue to update you on our certification progress.
