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, 2021 and will expire on December 31, 2023.
A negotiating team will be voted upon by the membership prior the expiry of our current collective agreement for collective bargaining with the employer.
** Collective Agreement Update – October 2025 **
Following the conclusion of our interest arbitration process, CUPE 1842 and Hastings County have reached a new collective agreement. The finalized document is currently undergoing final review by both parties. Once complete, the full collective agreement will be posted here for all members to access.
