On May 2, 2008 the CIRB (Canada Industrial Relations Board) issued an interim certificate to the CAW. As of May, 2008 the CAW has taken carriage out of all outstanding grievances, JEC Appeals as well as Job Description Grievances filed by PSAC. Some of these grievances dated back to the year 2000. To date, the Bargaining Committee has dealt with approximately Two Hundred and Thirty-Five (235) grievances and appeals. The framework of these grievances dealt with such issues as:

All matters pending arbitration have now been dealt with.
