CSS Bargaining Update: Tentative Agreement Reached for CSSBA Members
After 75 days of negotiations and 91 direct meetings, your bargaining committee is proud to announce we reached a tentative agreement with the Community Social Services Employers’ Association (CSSEA) on Thursday, April 23rd.
This tentative agreement represents the hard work and solidarity between workers across nine unions, which strengthened our hand at the table.
We made progress on the priorities you identified for the Community Living, General Services and Indigenous Services sub-sectors, and we look forward to sharing the details of these wins with you.
Over the next several days, we will be creating a comprehensive report so you can review all the proposed changes in detail. You will also receive invitations to telephone town hall meetings, along with clear instructions on how and when to vote on ratification.
It’s incredibly important that we have your correct contact information. If you know a co-worker or a former coworker who isn’t receiving these emails, please forward this message and encourage them to update their contact information with HSA so they can get all the details about our tentative agreement and the ratification vote process.
In solidarity,
Your Community Social Services Bargaining Association (CSSBA) Bargaining Committee
