The mission of the National Police Federation is
to provide strong, fair and progressive
representation to promote and enhance the rights
of RCMP members.
It is our position that members of the RCMP no
longer have a viable, representative voice. Thus,
they must choose the best group to represent them
as a collective. We want to be that group. The
RCMP has offered to continue with a no cost
labour relations model for members in the form of
the Member Workplace Services Program (MWSP).
However, in that no cost program, members no
longer have any national, collective voice. This
allows RCMP management to do as they wish with
our terms and conditions of employment. This
should be unacceptable to us all.

• Who We Are

3

• We are seeking to become the sole, certified
  bargaining agent for members of the RCMP. It is
  our belief that we have assembled a team of well
  researched, knowledgeable, professional and
  credible members who are passionate about
  advancing all members' rights and protecting all
  members interests and benefits.
• Please read through the information on our web
  page, more will be added as it becomes available
  and is ready to upload. If there is something
  that needs clarification, please send us a
  message in the contact us section, we will
  respond as soon as practicable.

• 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.
• WE 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.
• On January 15th, 2016, the SCC granted the
  Federal Government a 4 month extension to table
  and pass legislation providing the framework for
  certification of a bargaining agent for members
  of the RCMP.
• 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.
We 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)

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.
