Collective agreements
Our collective agreements determine our pay and working conditions!
Our Local comprises two bargaining units. If you are a salaried (temporary or permanent) worker, see FT & PT. If you are a student worker (casual), see Student Casuals.

FAQ
What is a Collective Agreement?
A Collective Agreement states the wages, working conditions, and protections we have won together. These are your workers' rights as a member of the CUPE 1230 Full-Time & Part-Time or Student Casual bargaining unit. We improve our Collective Agreement (wages, working conditions, and protections) by collectively negotiating with the Employer as a Union. Our wages, benefits, and protections are often much stronger than legal minimum standards which do not adequately support workers.
