Canadian Union of Public Employees – Collective agreements:

A written agreement between the union and employer that tells workers and the employer what their rights and responsibilities are. It is also called a “contract”. The collective agreement covers such things as:

  • wages
  • benefits
  • hours of work
  • conditions of work
  • seniority
  • how to handle disagreements.

Our most recent collective agreement with the Corporation of the County of Hastings became effective on January 1, 2015 and will expire on December 31, 2018.

A negotiating team will be voted upon by the membership prior the expiry of our current collective agreement for collective bargaining with the employer.
