Your collective agreement is negotiated every three years by bargaining committees elected by the members of each Unit. It outlines the terms and conditions of your employment: your rights at work, grievance and complaint procedures and your pay increases, among other things. Each Unit has its own collective agreement. Check yours out. If you have questions about anything you see here, you can check out the FAQs in Resources, or contact a union representative for assistance.
Note: Some of our bargaining units do not have updated Collective Agreements available yet. In these cases, everything new that was agreed to in bargaining after the most recent available Collective Agreement is documented in a Memorandum of Agreement.
We recommend when checking the relevant Collective Agreement language for your bargaining unit, that you also check the available Memorandum of Agreement to see whether the language you’re referencing in the most recent available Collective Agreement has been changed.
Once we have fully updated Collective Agreements that integrate the newly bargained langauge in the Memoranda of Agreement, we will update them on this site and notify members through our regular newsletter.
Find your unit below, and click the “Collective Agreement” link to find out what Local 1998 has negotiated for you. If you need help interpreting your collective agreement, contact us; the advice we provide is free and confidential.
